SIREN SONG

I tried casting away
to float with the other pedestals
meaning to sound in my head
the only thing that comes back

I’m near the sirens
like a truck hit by a man I heard them calling
when I could hardly hear
I’m where the fire is
barely breathing out the smoke I’m burning down with
when I find out it’s all the same

I tried lifting my head
went at it all day
I focused all of my breath
but it finally came back

near the sirens
like a truck hit by a man I heard them calling
when I could hardly hear
I’m where the fire is
barely breathing out the smoke I’m burning down with
when I find out it’s all the same

I tried casting away
to float with the other pedestals
meaning to sound in my head
the only thing that came back
