"stay out late, sharp as knives"

Eagerly and eagerly-- cling only to the rusty metal frames as we rise hold only those protrusions that remind us: half formed memories and deja vu; for to face the gale of the past with its brute teeth of memory will only slow us down . Hold tight now and tighter still, the stars are just ahead. I wish in a way ten thousand sunrises cannot unwish and I dream cornucopias of light for you.

""I will no longer do the devil's wishes.""

black and white slivers spin in your wake
and the upturned astonished faces grow small below us
until the clouds part
and you leave me behind.

listening to "everyone in the world is doing something without me" by fsol makes a poignant counterpoint to your words.
