Jesus Year from 7 Islands by Josh Evert

knew I wouldn’t be your number one
But I thought I would make the top 10

And I know that you are coming up
Always sincerely catching buzz

Saw your name up on the track list
Thought that meant I’d be seeing U less

But
I don’t fear death
Just a dull night
And mores from the Countryside

33
far cry from 28
what’s found
being out this late

Close the club
Alleyway bump
Get caught up in
This cursed drug

There’s a critter
Burrows through the brain and
Narrowly escapes
Great

only gun
To hunt it is
a gun he tastes
Blow it away


_______________

That right there is My best friend
Her name is War’s Gentle Consequence
And she’s carrying the scent
Of whatever beast I’m told I am

Big Sad If it’s on the run
Beast is hornless but still with horn bumps
Big Sad keep it on the run
Hitting the trigger of every gun

You’re the drug that scares the moth
from my chest the cold wings flutter off
sounds like the call I evolved 
300 millennia to fall for

How often I loved a thing
cuz you loved it and that includes me

Calling me a pet name that
I hated until you called me it
I’ve just been trying so hard
Not to let these thoughts form words
