fractions of pardons and delusions

 

so to capture an experience

something like memory

a practical mind escapes

away from another closed mind

mysterious or uninformed

souvenirs of night

forgotten
like last night's blue moon

 

as the pipes bellow

with longing and low

terse in the pitch

way down below

from where they are

only hunger known

well enough, all right

some wounds cut to the bone

souvenirs of hurt

remembered

 like words spoken only in screams

 

slivers come into sight

no routine matter

as a mind can shatter

in no way confine the tongue

while true thoughts scatter

as humans have longed

both old and young

to ascend towards heaven

they cannot hear

the way to transcend themselves

fractions of pardons and delusions,
composed in its secret quantities and it seems to moan
an insufficient quantity of love
while it appears to be of vital use to keep us from being alone
