THE EPOCH

you look at her once and you’ll know completely
she is the way that you thought she’d be
something like clarity that I seek out
to look in the mirror and cease to be

to live in the saying that lasts your whole life
or maybe in waiting to kill this dream
sometimes so scary that we just freak out
to look in the mirror and not see anything at all

forget you are human
for just a minute
forget you not ethereal
like a miracle, like a miracle, like miracle

see me so boldly with eyes just weeping?
(so you can) see what I’m like when I’m fast asleep?
restfully lifeless or reckless leaping
see when I’m moving so slow
or can’t see anything at all

forget you are human
for just a minute
forget you are not ethereal
broken, cynical
lost and fearing-all
dark in the hall
like a miracle, like a miracle

no suicide can bring you dying so hard as you’d find just by being alive
