Emergency Lever

Remember, upon emergency please pull this emergency lever.

if the sky starts to look like the jaundiced skin after hit by a baseball hard,
please pull this emergency lever.

if you wake up one day and can’t one bit
‘cause dark shadows are pulling you into the earth,
please pull this emergency lever.

if you find yourself hurting others with a thousand blade from your tongue,
please pull this emergency lever.

remember, upon emergency, please pull this emergency lever.

Song

A summer night, as tree branches thread throughout the dark sky salted with stars,

The whole world swayed as the hammock weaves by thousands of threads swayed

Crimson ambers of cigarette quickly falling through the wholes, barely missing the threads,

Like an accident, falls into the wine glass,

Bursting with flame that cannot contain itself

I don’t care if it hurts

I wanna have control

So the song went, as the alcohol got thicker and hotter.

Boat

Another tide will come, carrying the fate along with it as well.

We’ve fought the fights, we’ve endured the inévitables.

Longing for the land that seems like an illusion so far, where do we go from here now?

Hold on; you say. Yes, gravity seems heavier than usual.

Liberation? Yes, hopefully it shall come.

Gamble

‘Life’s for a gambler,’ you say,

Gamble for what, though?

Vainglorious attention, lust, or obsession?

I’d say, for survival; for freedom; for life.

Focus. What’s happening now? Who’s been hit, robbed, or deceived? Why?

Think. What’s going to happen now? What are you going to do?

Execute. What’s time, before the deadline, till the weights drop dead? hold your ground.

Pray.

Prayer

Please, look after yourself.

Let your heart bloom into beautiful vignettes of your memory

Let your fluttering wings spread beyond the horizon of sky and wield gusts for wind vortex larger than the abyss of a black hole

Let your body move with passion and freedom.

But please, look after yourself.
