The world collapses
In slow motion
Whirlwind of
Personal tragedy
Pulse & beat
In half time
Quarter time
A still life of
Flying debris

And...
Breathe

She smiles
Her eyes light the way
Tread carefully
Through
The spinning crumbs
Of a life decayed
To reach her smile
To see rebirth
A new still life
Spinning up
To Joy
All Played out
In her eyes.

Today's dog
1,2,3
I'll do tricks
For a bisquit
Panting & pathetic
I'm today's dog
Howling at the moon
Looking for that sweet spot
Today's old dog

I just want to...
I just need to...
I just...

Let me lay here
And be close
Let me be
What I am
Just today's
Old mutt
Today's dog

I set sail
Yes, I set sail

I'm drowning
On my own
Mobile Atlas
I carry what I can
I set sail today
Going and gone
I don't know where
I don't know if
And tomorrow...

I set sail
Not knowing how long
How long I can carry on
Maybe I'll find...
Maybe I won't

It's never enough
What I have to give

I set sail
Yes, I set sail
Coward that I am
I set sail
