Words Aren'T the Tree To Lean On

I'm not abnormal
just different kind of normal

through my chambers
tantalized horse is storming 
(storms make trees take deeper roots)

Dolly's vinyl began skipping
so my God put his paper hat on

that God of mine wears a paper hat
and you wear the fear the same way

we all have rooted fears
above which ingrained branches furcate
designing modular shadows to be tailored upon

yet my symmetrical reasoning
keeps on coloring that infested resonance
enveloping skin in barbed tape
hoping that loosen blood
will make a liquid embankment around integrated Thanatos
as no one ever comes forward to the bleeding ones

but human embodiment is a marvel
like river it breaks its way through to the subsistence
so harbored will of mine constructed a timber
upon which singleness can find its rest 
until encounters her similarly aberrant soil
