finding

discover process

By ⸘jason alan‽Published 2 months ago Updated 2 months ago 1 min read
"see creature" ⸘jason alan‽ acrylic on canvas

takes what won't be given

powered by my grandiose generousity

i heard cold feet are contagious

finding capsules of time

in the trinkets we misplaced

just rocks, some polished, some rough

our memories, mistaken

for the life of the sacrificed

in promises of love that never comes

but i don't know all that well?

i know the right thing isn't easy

and all things will change me the same way

if i make the same mistakes

tomorrow as i made yesterday

safe distance is needed

to stop me from deja vu

faded from view with regrets

accepting new consequences

nobody can live of a fence

finding, forgetting

discovery processes

this has only been a test.
