We’re all reborn in a hurricane.
Blinded by sharp and heavy greys.
Since that day I haven’t felt the same,
catastrophes through a windowpane,
catastrophes crashing down on me.
Six more starry nights to ease my brain
this metronome hangs in a still frame,
on a battered boat, banking on a shore.
We’ll all wake up one day with new skin,
spit out of the crashing waves.
We can teach these tattered tides to talk the talk
, If we roll like thunder, will it strike like lightning?
The rubble rambles in my skull, beautiful and frightening.
Now my ship don’t float the same.
I found the jackline overboard again this morning.
It must have blown away when the storm hit.
We ignored all the warnings, banking on that shore.
