Raise the frozen nerves from the ocean floor
Implausible reasons and restrained context
Signals drop in and out,
Without intersect
Curious wonder stabbed between it’s wide eyes
fading to gray

Lifetimes ago shed their skin
Degenerating into meaningless consequence

Burn images in a guide of new thought
Adopt incorrect motives based on your absence
Something other than love
Without devotion
Hesitance is the ghost that reminds me of you

Words that were meant shed their skin
Devolving like humans inside their distracting
self serving needs
