Pattern Recess - Emily Ritz

I feel it in the dark deep

Tissue of whats grown weak

I hear it in my own mouth

The words i learn to let come out

Like the wool felts

Like the ice melts

All my time will tell

All my tides will swell

Like the moon bid

Like the tire skid

I can’t help it

I can’t quell it

Up on the mountain i pattern

Go round and round like the rings of saturn

I can’t stay no i can’t stand it

I think i need a whole new planet

Like a first breath

Like a quick death

My time is so pressed

My life is so blessed

Like a good guess

Like a no less

Pattern recess

Feelings fluoresce

I’ve given you my whole life

On you love i got a sticky eye

I can’t stay no i can’t stand it

Believe me i never would have planned it

Like a true hound

Like a false bound

I’m set free now

I will be found

Like a far dream

Like a near scream

I’m now unseen

I float downstream
