A New Rise


Its nice to sleep in another bed
Dreamless nights reshuffled again
Spilled wine on the sheets
My neck, where the hot air speaks.

Lights left on
My right eye wrong
twitching to the beat
Blink to pass out, exhausted
After this song
When their feet starting sweeping
And the whole crowd has to play a long

So that's why you dance
Gives you the chance to be an embarrassment
To find freckles in my hair ,glance 
In a chair in my cross legged stance
Waiting for friends
Outside smoking again.

Level three
Lets take it to the Fourth floor
No room in the city outdoors.
Filled the night with smoke
Three stops
Just enough to catch a new rise
Lets float on
And become modest
Help out a fellow
white burns to yellow
And hello isn't enough
Tongues move smooth
When the vibe is mellow.

Hold your breath
Shift over the linoleum
Stairway under us
Moonlight over the metal bus
Shuttle first and layover rust
Walk in, hand in hand
Hold a balance
Try hard but the support is not far.
And just like my birthday, no presents
But the challenge and the present.
