nebulous

i see a bed of embers
like city lights
and explosions like thermal brain imagery.

it's july 4th

and it's not so pretty.
it's not what i thought it would be...

see you
looking into my pupils
like a pair of peepholes,
hoping to find some understanding of me.

but i'm all kaleidoscope inside, baby.

i say my prayers in the ether.

i get my kicks in the dark.
