Rudimentary metaphysics
trip the mystic gap
leap of angels

faith to be saved
float through darkness
enter the chasm

Speak the name of truth
whisper
to the savior

Remember when we were
Children
Running wild with the
Machines

Lost in transmission

Righteous and alone
mountaintop sadness

Take the original strength
breathed into you by
the fashioner of souls

Might of your limbs
stoned by the world
saved by angels

hoping to get what
I want
trying to let go of what
I want

I think the vastness of her
soul matches mine

Burn away the differences

Did you strive to empty
yourself of Western poisons

Sit alone on an Asian mountaintop
just you and your motorcycle

Without the women and
the fortune and the
adventures

Did you give it all away for
the soft vacuum
of an empty life
