Love An Instrument by Thailan When

Love An Instrument

Can you feel the machine?
the bolts are loosening
is it possible
you are human
your love an instrument
in a moment
beauty will awake

somewhere
someone is dreaming
a flower is blooming
in a moment
beauty will awake

I like a long depth of view
across a smooth horizon
I like to look at things

he wants security
structure
authority
war
a life he feels is worth fighting for

she needs complexity
romance
ambition
vision
it keeps her in
indecision

feelings of intense emotion
struggle
static
human devotion
rugged
raw
dramatic
if it haunts you
you’re the habit
if it hunts you
you’re the rabbit

move
move again if you must
love if you can trust
was that the last one?
this is just the first
melodies of life’s memories
kick it
spill out
it’s birth
