Kaiser

The King is crowned and turned upside down
The years whittle you like a fiddle
And now you finally found yourself stuck in the middle
It's like birth and death
An afterthought of actions met
Like when you say words that you meant
When your piles filled with communal birds
I got to learn to keep it to myself
Can't use to use don't want my conscious to think that way
I don't want death to enhance my life
The honor go see to thee
No I or we.
He stood up and walked like he's already seen that
He lies waiting for his place
Stayed away when he felt brave
Slept in a cage to behave
He could howl as a clue
Find a friend in opposites
And make it work
Outside turned inside could hardly see you through the snow
A face with an open joy
Eyes filled with poise
Guide me through the tunnel
I can't see the edges
I see a shape up ahead
I feel the air in my lungs
I long for longer days,
I wish I could search
Fenced in always forwards
Dragged along and called upon
Looked for
Head on slabs grin perched
Slumped over couldn't care none the wiser
Peace be with you
Kaiser
