4-6am drunk poems

invulnerable,
with the sunrise
the shutter opens,
you smile
rolling toward the dawn
flying, soaring
invulnerable
towering, you cower
keys old & worn
stuck, invulnerable
drawn are lines, circles
all coherent in a way
you stand alone, invulnerable
(Sarah Bareilles)

smoke & mirrors
it's how you work
flickering lights, trickery
you cheat, no matter
no longer numb, I hurt
running lines blur as we pass
bokeh, circles of city light
crashing waves sound,
wake me up from this misery
sand falling, forming
rosy cheeks in black & white
billowing around you
simple straps fall
rushing, racing, caring
like you never did
(Britney Spears, energy ad, some random chick, Kings Of Leon)

falling through the sky
the atmosphere presses in
about to implode
scarves tightly wrapped warmth
in our shaking bodies
neutral walls surround
bringing life
to a certain intensity
the rain falls, hot
humidity almost suffocating
breathing, breathless
(Parachute, band in a room with lights)

dazzling, you stand alone
beautiful, flowing, freezing
a white dress stuck to your skin
looking down, looking up
to infinity & beyond
symmetrical, chaotic
spreading, infectious
love me forever
love me never
-5:31am
(Carolina Liar)

your eyes, shards of ice
melting like softened snow
scripted lines
feel better for the moment
eight feet is all I have
-6:00am
(Rob Thomas, The Script, some band in a parking garage)
