snug.
when we all know it, but the conventions keep us in check
since my heart is
free again
I hold on to this
feelin'
it's so cosy inside
only knowin'
that you are there
jammed
into your most
comfortable corner
cramp
ready to help
keepin' your
finger on the pulse
still
my fingers work incessantly
accordin'
to the procedures
avoidin' haywire
connections
on the way
shaped
by your previous experience;
where were you
before?
when I held my nose
too close
to the
ground
avoidin' to disclose
the awfullest concept I’ve ever had
about this world’s
other side
in a grey shade
where I am not
and you are
even though
it cost you
a while
contradictions
lined with lead
on our
way
into another state
of oblivion
and a small snug
separatin'
our gentle
energy
con…, air con, con… nections
tricked that way
into comfortably circumstanced
course of actions
in hand
