Oblivion Seekers from Arcadian Pages by alex rose ~ canyon counterpoint

I’m a black bird circling the blue skies of the Yucca Valley
I’m high
Like the nights we spent smoking cigarettes on your back porch
Feeling alive
I traced those dark tops of the mountain ranges
They’re all big bears who lept out of their cages wearing capes
No trying
No lying
No trying: I was honest then

in those high desert test sites I’m no slave to my appetite
I mine crystal caves, I thumb arcadian pages
But we are no more readers than we are passersby
In our valley, this cavernous mountain night

Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
