Come back from coming back

come back from when
you came back
and you remembered what was
a plus
and what wasn't even a mathematical sign

come back from rights, wrongs, wills, wigs, dresses and yes's
from when you thought that it wasn't at all useful
to keep green eyes at bay
and exchange them for my poor heart's of mystery

come back, set yourself at risk
deny you've been cured, reject who says
that you can settle and still close your eyes at night
and not dream of descent

come back from the place you came back before.

the unusual and troublesome concealing of

everything in life has a solution
just some things, you know,
they delay to appear as problems.
regarding what is real
it is of useless debate
when it's mingled with what is really.

it is a closed-off, one shot deal
that everyone's invited to play
but it still worries anyone who's left
on one side
or on the other.

we are united by our fears
and saved by our motionless lack of guts
but steadily, the intelligent man
keeps asking why keep all at bay
when we can sail astray.
