Liquid Loss

Slipping through the cracks 
of another undeserved chance
reckless precious baby hands
little is known
save for their demands

speak when spoken to
laugh when things aren't funny
pay with your soul
not your dirty, hard-earned money

we run, we flee
when things aren't meant to be
when we are in
discordant energy
not so much running from, but running to, whatever we can find that is new

let it go, let it be
we exist
so we can burn, and not freeze

I left a life so far behind, identity can't be tracked. I'm a well-known criminal in almost every aspect of the past. I left behind who I couldn't face, and now I'm in the wanted ads for stealing the hearts of the human race. It's not about who I am but who I'm not, I'm picking up the pieces that everyone else forgot. I exist as energy, you see what you will, humans make the world disappear, I make time stand still. 

those that shine the brightest are more than stars, more than reflected light in telescopes that strive to see far. we aren't one, we are many, our loving universal has split into a polyphony

but don't we sound so sublime?
symmetrically divine

I've been split in two by people who I gave that power to, maybe some days I don't want it back

we are all using different maps
and none know where to step
turn right, turn left

and just listen for the sirens

Your poetry rolled like song.
"we are all using different maps
and none know where to step
turn right, turn left"
I believe we decide our place. Accepting more or less. I like the tone and realistic voice of the words. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
