Improvise

Improvise Action in disguise Words do not suffice Pictures emphasize Familiar, you contempt Unfamiliar, wonder kept

Sneak peak into the unknown Nothing good outlives the zone Not your food, nothing you own All the things go up and gone Skills and weapons go and hone Not your spreadsheet passes on

Some places you go without a phone Keep that in mind, that is if one you own

Now the empty space is heavy And the earth will grow a levee

In this desert, absolution? Any law promised solution?

You heal a wound you didn’t cause You swallow thorns to get to rose

When the green turned into red I didn’t know nor ever read Something ahead quietly shed Layers and layers in my head I didn’t know that was the red They always say it says and said Over and over, boom you’re dead

How many voices are there? Personified, there are many Officially hide in the lair To be allowed to be, not any

Here, fishing worms newly dropped Arms and legs and limbs are chopped

Sometimes a story is just a storey The real monster hides in your attic

Everyone gets a turn on the theater’s stage If it’s not your sadness then it’s your rage

Here it comes to interrupt Gated passage is corrupt Barren all along the way Go or stop, no run, stay

Are we the universe’s gaze? Are we the breath of fire? Is this a questionnaire, a phase? The droplets or the choir?

The echos in the hall The animals that crawl The scream and the drawl The one and the all

محاولات فاشلة لاختراق حاجز اللغة

This lies under still water This is without border This lives without order This looks like disorder

Make no mistake, this tree never asked to be heard Not to break or hit the brakes, but just a home for birds

Reality glitch Channel switch Lilo Stitch Which is which?

Immortalization Odd incantation Soul elevation Flame regulation

This is the last dance So make it worthwhile This is the chance To go out in style

Running on reserved energy Past and future synergy

Galaxies galaxies Can I this moment freeze? Give me a second please This only flows in ease This land is bound to seize Emptiness and the breeze

My soul is a flighter Now it’s getting lighter

After every storm An instruction manual A book to transform Some say it is annual Here again the worm Bites an intellectual

An objectively funny crime The audience can chime in

The calls disconnect The waves intersect The cassettes eject The reclaims reject

Will this earth witness me? Solidness suddenly wobbly Vastness suddenly sturdy Sounds of hurdy-gurdy And birds of reverdi

Human design Words that align Sign after sign Wood of the pine

Fellow fiend Have you weaned? Were you cleaned? Also screened?

Dear Jane Doe With no beau Lie below Drier dirt

Years ago Throwing snow No more grow Also hurt

You said no? Vexed ‘em so? Not to show Nor to blurt

Final blow Lowest low Not to know Nor to snort*
