Seven Hours Late

seven hours late  
listen on youtube or here

my last seven hours falling off the clock
scrapping down the wall, bidding farewell.

my blurred eyes gazing at a photo,
it too, tethered into madness, sight fading,

all the lines and colors of you. Slowly draining.
Your photo. Now, a blank white paper canvas
, a last glance intoxicates whatever moves me.
=
if it's any comfort,
I might want to hug my odes to you,
recite my broken blunders,
epic failures
stand on my crooked past,

reprimand convicted crippled fingers,
that caused you to be gone,
a fruitless remedy,
I can tell by the way I'm missing you.
=
wanting to be wrapped in between layers of your dreams
your breath as musical notes,
in tune with magnetic symphonies  
dedicated to this melancholy.  

Show the love of god. I heard so much about it.  
=
so peel the skin off reminiscing words,
let the couped-up dreams spill on these dying days,
let them wander your streets, pace time away.

You can take this guilty in an assassination.  

seek my fading wandering breaths as a countdown,
or one last chance to tempt something in you to adopt me.
=
but now I’m seven hours short laly
that went searching for you in L.A.  
I’m seven hours late
laly I'm seven hours late
