Clear Coasts from Emergency Psychic by Oh Condor


CLEAR COASTS


up against the infinite
the sunny side / the dark abyss
and these paralyzing odds left unchecked
the bending bow that waves create
the crashing down / the breakers break
out of my depth / catch a breath / hesitate


this cynicism sets you off
out here the coast is clear
is this on? yeah, it’s on.
between the tickle and the cough
three cheers for the insincere 
and we carry on as if the end’s not near


the king, the crown, so pomp and proud
these arms surround the heady crowd
are they on task to protect or collect?
the wrinkles of experience
the lessons learned that time imprints
I caught a glimpse in the black staring back


this cynicism sets you off
out here the coast is clear
is this on? yeah, it’s on.
between the tickle and the cough
three cheers for the insincere 
and we carry on as if the end’s not near


and it’s here
yeah, it’s here


these storms inform our warmest approach
these stones intone our own clear coasts
