Seek symmetry in juxtaposition Fleeting elation, natural harmony Nothing but a flash, and shift, and simper Body, body, body Geometric ecstacies just below the skin Subsurface scattering Fall, fall, fall Just fall apart Fictitious visions, reveries Synapses crash and fall apart Break, glory Jumpcut to a hard reset Cogs churn fictions of reality Idle syncopations tip and titter, they study me She, in her decay, sits and shifts in her geometry Simpers, taunting me Veil of moth and mace Coalesce in convalescent ecstasy Moon cognitions shift and simmer Subsurface scattering within a world of skin Too many convex geometries, too many half dreams So hard to recognize the light I have visions of you emerging, in your grace Out of the water Unclothed, in your purity, you wade out I have visions of you sitting on a throne Your seneschal resplendent in his white frock Lowering the crown unto your head You simper, but your eyes are as cruel as stone I have visions of you standing before the altar Throwing your crown down before his feet It shatters and time becomes irrelevant Love and life, fear and history, all temporary Seek what is temporary Lose myself in the symmetry Cursing my flawed geometry Rippling across my skin The way the pelvic bones press against the skin The way the ribs push out as you lean back The way the collarbone just barely peeks out The way the chest rises and falls as you breathe The way blood pushes through the skin in droplets Such perfect geometry The shape of a god Mortal gods that we are A shadow upon a shadow A billow and a breath A touch from your lips A glimmer and a glimpse He's been here before Black iron brought ease and ecstasy To kiss skin and blood To kiss his still-beating heart I sought release in juxtaposition With clinging to the same fate That I've met with a thousand times before I haven't felt the fire for a long time I've been stuck in the symmetry Maybe more so than before, now that I'm in the center It returns to me Time and time again The same visions The same vices Everything is the same
