To Be Outlanded
Just then, the water came over top
striking the ground and swallowing the air
The water came to me and I flew
and I breathed in new life
Jordan and Nigh took me through in shelly frosted flames
Jean and Miss took me to the lady's land
Where a maze on the plains grappled with the old beauty of the world
James and a Saint left me to die as the world shifted round
and I choked on the unfamiliar gang of yellow flowers filling the blank air, becoming a sea
Me, king of this new world, laid choking by a trickle, a turtle, and the sticks it was gathering
Like a fence to the stream, bordering the water that shone a milky reflection
I closed my eyes and gave in to the water of the sky
which breezed through me
outlanded
and outlanded me again to its home
striking the ground and swallowing the air
The water came to me and I flew
and I breathed in new life
Jordan and Nigh took me through in shelly frosted flames
Jean and Miss took me to the lady's land
Where a maze on the plains grappled with the old beauty of the world
James and a Saint left me to die as the world shifted round
and I choked on the unfamiliar gang of yellow flowers filling the blank air, becoming a sea
Me, king of this new world, laid choking by a trickle, a turtle, and the sticks it was gathering
Like a fence to the stream, bordering the water that shone a milky reflection
I closed my eyes and gave in to the water of the sky
which breezed through me
outlanded
and outlanded me again to its home
