fractures

i float like an old piece of wood on the hudson

i may have a purpose

but it's mysterious to me

i wait in dark corners for instruction

get on my bike

peddle over bridges

along rivers and wind back where i started

and so in moments of weakness or strength

i ask god for forgiveness and guidance

then i fall asleep

and meet him somewhere along the fractures

and so in moments of weakness or strength

i ask god for forgiveness and guidance

then i fall asleep

and meet him somewhere along the fractures

and in the breaks

along the fractures

and in the breaks

all along the fractures

i go fishing

a giant rod with a string and a hook

i work into the cracks

with no idea what i want back

standing on my heart

like a world in turmoil

alone with god

a vagrant

a figment

an idiot

with no thoughts or ideas

something tugs on the string

and i keep floating down the river

riding over bridges

advancing the myth called surrender

all bones break

all skulls crack and turn cold

in moments of strength or weakness

i ask for help

and so in moments of weakness or strength

i ask god for forgiveness and guidance

then i fall asleep

and meet him somewhere along the fractures

and so in moments of weakness or strength

i ask god for forgiveness and guidance

then i fall asleep

and meet him somewhere along the fractures

and so in moments of weakness or strength

i ask god for forgiveness and guidance

then i fall asleep

and meet him somewhere along the fractures

and so in moments of weakness or strength

i ask god for forgiveness and guidance

then i fall asleep

and meet him somewhere along the fractures

and in the breaks

along the fractures

and in the breaks

all along the fractures
