rising me
my values
it’s little polyps
where my visibilities hide

soberly affirming your blue
my stiff holiness dedicating my feet to stars
leaving these scars in your sky

it’s money
it’s rancidness
taking lives

it’s substanceless hauls me through air
instructively i have become
red haunched is where you’ll find my heart

seventy seven feet up
God gives me another chance
he removes my pride

i smile
tracing my way back to ground
