Clay Heart

The sharp turns in the road of life
Are giving me emotion sickness
So I vomit some words and ideas
And hope the Balm of Gilead can make me ok

We are earth, we are clay
We are fading like the day
Shards and broken pieces lay
Embedded in my body

Bones are splintered in your hand
Beating on the shifting sand
I recite some useless words and
Declare I am no longer tangible

Our abstract use of language
Allows us to avoid accountability
And it makes me, yeah it makes me
And I make it

'So I vomit some words and ideas' that one line gave me shivers and made my mind
