flicker the flame
two days, so much pain
not for the faint, they say
i walk, listen
lyrics, the kitchen
my moves, your prison
no intuition
the prism, you play
i lay, listen for the day
waves, the ocean
the season, watch it stiffen
left in such a condition
a magician with no vision
read the words i’ve written
the story i sung
but a musician knows no system
except for words you say
how you glisten
and the last song
you ever played
