In From The Outside

Mike Brennan

Fairly certain now,
That these times keep
Falling forward
Before Blackening Backwards
Into certain moments,
Indisputable fortunes, to be
Lost somewhere within these
Smoggy odes to air

So come substantially further
Into the water, following the waves
Under the upwards, into October
Of the never-ending blaze of gold
I’ve casually sold
To sow all I’ve stole
From other eclectic thieves
Who tried taking away
The ashes of Autumn
From you & me

& now that all our electric escapades
Have gone entirely wrong
Like blood red meat
Softened by tenderly sung songs
Both defaced & kissed
Faired as all’s well
But greeted with a good bye
We evacuated this place
By losing both eyes
Selling both to be gone
Further southwards
With immaculate alibis
Of other times I’ve given
To the nothings upon
Which we have both been stripped
& clothed
To decide whether or not
We wish to write another scream or
Several newer reasons
To be cleansed
Or denied.
