Snail's tale

open your eyes

crumble through dirt
just let the white sun
play his wayward game

plunge in a river
of golden sand streams
breath in the air
as the river goes up, in the night

stare at the Universe
between your fingers
gaze at the spiral
adorning this snail in a haze

those ruby stars
are the sky's precious garments
how did you steal
the right to escape in disgrace?

look away little man,
just look away
look away and avoid
all the beauty and the pain

just close your eyes
crumble through dirt
crawl to the the blackest sun
and pay off your debt
look away...

look away little man,
it's so easy to just look away
look away and avoid
all of the beauty and the pain

...nothing is really there anyway
