Everyone You Touch
Jonathan Meiburg
Endlessly rustling
Talk and don’t pause for breath
Everyone coming here
Looking for someone else
Watching them tearing up
The tracks along the line
Mirror ball standing in
For galaxies of light
Jump in that opening
Looking for signs of life
Follow dead reckoning
Kneel and then stand again
Feeling like every
Consolation is a lie
Nothing is out of reach
But everyone you touch
Melts away
Turn your back against the evidence
Will you tell me now
How is this benevolence?
Can you recall?
Do you rеcall?
Better look around
You bettеr look around
Caught you sleeping
