lines

defined lines
define a person
where do their lines lay


neatly piled, ready for consumption

slowly written, thought out and sincere

between your eyes, angry and concentrated

on the road behind you, all left to the past


these lines
straight edges
directional markers
starlings screech their lovesong
eyes dark and bare
send out a warning
climbing higher
stopping on each branch
see who's listening


talk linear at me


detached and irrelevant
close your eyes and
regain fetal comfort
where lines have yet
to be discovered
where everything is
round
