starbound Shifting between worlds and places
Different people, different faces.
Trying to gauge prevailing mood
Ignoring murmurs of a feud.
Conversing over hidden walls
Dodging queries, missing calls.
Avoiding gazes, stopping short
In case a slip-up might be caught.

A complex web of thoughts and deeds
Can plant the most intriguing seeds.
Watered by the rain of rumour
Flowers blossom all the sooner.
One word should not make others weep
The meaning may not be so deep.
A tantalising drop of feeling
Can falsely send emotions reeling.

Don't look too far into the lens
And dream of how the story ends.
Sometimes it pays to stand aside
Experience the fairground ride.
But sinking deep into the brine
Is what I do most of the time.
This path is one that I still trace
To break out of a darker place.

...
skinny a million years now,
when the moon docks itself
in the piney cove
its silver wake
fades into blackness
i can see it happening
a million times
a million ways
in a million places.

i've been told many times you only get one chance. i'm not sure i believe that any more. blinking in morse code, ones and zeros, your binary language, you tell me everything without knowing anything.
