Light hearted approach

Lift spirits up in their stirrups
Praise the law for making it possible
for chickens and children alike
to walk over silences in the trenches
where the fires and distant sources
of smoke are fused with religion

tarnish not the spine of the novel
of life with scars of a notoriety
out of your hands - his spirit was taken
once by the press and now spread
wings thinly in any medium

box it let itself out of feels confined in artifice
box it found itself in left its window wide
and screaming like the cape of nighttime

or the feeling one has as the lift doors
enclose us and we rely on the inventions
of others not to fail
otherwise we may simply die

its that end of things
we can never describe
