Tilt your head and laugh at the sky

This torn-down bedroom has naked white walls that make it impossible to ignore the dawn of a new era. 
This furniture-less house, and boxes filled with our things make it easier to begin the process of disconnection from the fun game we've played for one lease-long year.
Laying with one pillow, one blanket - your least favorite ones
Thinking about love, the prospect of movement and change allowing me to be loved,
In a fucked-up, but most rejuvenating, and satisfying way
The impermanence of life makes it glamourous,
a guaranteed graceful exit 


I can feel the change thicken the aire, and quicken the pace
You've only realized it if you've stolen a second to meditate
While that needle in my skin brings me to the present, I also realize that I'll never be the same again
new art for a new life and new self
A reminder to refocus tells me to love what I love, and never let anyone tell me I can't
To be at the same time dissheveled, lovely, successful and focused

I never want to blend in
not even temporarily
I never want to tone it down
And if being myself isn't different, than so be it
but I will not lose my edge, ever

The change comes slowly,
realizing itself onto your friends, and family
They feel it too
  it feels warm and sunny, so we let it happen
syncopation, syncopation, syncopation
You should feel the love now
You should feel flexible and energized
You should feel malleable bliss
let the tempo change

Let the warmness come over you, slow and sexy
Embrace it's kiss, tilt your head back
close your eyes
breathe deep
and give in.

This is the beginning to the rest of your life, and it's going to feel good.
