pattern

i see scenes 
of sepia tragedy 
shaded in apathy 

and i have dreams 
of former proximity 
and familiar listening 

pull back the frame 
roll back the tape 
i’ll pick out the pattern 
and i’ll dwell 

i still feel 
the tangible energy 
trickling over me 

but i can't heal 
resistance to gravity 
and atoms unraveling 

pull back the frame 
roll back the tape 
i’ll pick out the pattern 
and i’ll dwell
