The Means of ( ) - Mat Kerekes

We fill our mouths full of dirt with a blank stare through all of it

A weight hangs from the ceiling but it hasn’t dropped just yet

Don’t you ever wonder about it?

Swinging your feet from my back for this fall down the staircase

I wrapped you up instead

Don’t you ever think about that or do you forget about it?

Spinning lights will cover this whole ground

I can’t feel for you when you give out

I’m standing up from the street with the sounds blurred from all of this

Why does everything feel so temporary ever since?

I can only blame myself for that

There’s your photo hanging up for when I’m feeling down so I can still see your

smile

I miss everything about it

We all think about it

Pry the walls open for this comedown

I can’t feel for you if you stop now

I’m looking at you now

The time that you hold

Tell me, have you learned the means of letting go?
