Crossroads

Crossroads
by me(whatever)
to Waltz of anomalies

cross roads,
four ways,
five points
red drawn,
walpurgis night.

deep sea moon,
crooked arm
black eyed stars
crackled laugh
the sacrifice.

"The wager must be your own."

uneven gait
dirtied poppet
mothers frayed dress
unconscious dead
incantations...

eyes, ears, nose, hands, tongue
ripping them apart
the blue iron brand
in a ring of blood
oblivion.

Sound City

Sound City
by me(whatever)
to kimi no oto

I'm losing
the worth
existence?
of mine.

I'd like to make something new,
instead of repeating these painful days.
Long ago,
can't they stay there?

escape
them all
memories?
of mine.

I'm not a ghost!
Don't look at me like I am.
Please, please
can't I stay here?

I'm dreaming
of the
world?
of mine.

Vanishing across the pavement,
the thoughts you never wanted to forget.
promises,
can't they stay here?

sound,
is it
flowing?
breaking?
dying?
of mine.

The city buildings scrape the sky,
if we burned through the clouds in a firework parade
existence, existence, existence
could it?

Zoetrope

Zoetrope
by me(whatever)
to  today, the day after tomorrow, anytime

The gears of the world twist and turn,
yet I stay here with my eye through the slit.
What is it that I did to get here,
spinning within the strobe?

The circles are driving me crazy,
tell me what I wished for that day.
When I was young, sitting on the Devil's wheel,
repeating the words he spoke to me.

the memories don't go any further,
revolving forever on this merry-go-round.
There's windows battering on every side,
yet I can't escape from this jail.

The days are endless,
doing the same things at a simple twist of the arm.
 And as I slow down and cease,
they frown and whirl me around again.

There are so many of me,
caught in different pictures on the screen.
That I've been moving forward since you drew me,
is only an illusion you created. 

Fate, fortune, and future,
pulled out of the slot by Daedalus.
Within the labyrinth, you're wilting away,
waiting for the wheel to stop.
