Lana Del Rey Past the Bushes Cypress Thriving

i saw you in the mirror

you were wearing your hair differently

carrying the air differently

you said you wear your hair long, parted in the middle

long in solidarity just like all his women

 
in long beach
 
aimless
 

your fingers wiping oil on the paper w precision

with decision like an artist never seen yet with a vision

 

with a reason

stared with venom at the ceiling

not the grass

but straight ahead

just at the skyline

with precision

laser vision

 

time was stopping

moving through u

u dictated

by what moved u

 
only moving never thinking
 

match the sun that’s slowly sinking

at the height of the afternoon

In the heat of the summer evening

Like a phoenix, like a chemtrail, like a wavelength

no one’s claiming

 

georgia O' Keeffee

georgia peaches

doing nothing but your painting

for forever

forget teachers

forgive him for ever leaving

 

love is rising

no resisting

cheeks are flushing

now you’re living

 

say goodbye now

no resisting

live your life like

no ones listening

 

Be the art the life is breathing

Be the soul the world is living.

 

for you only

not for giving

just for taking

no one's listening

 

at the end of the Lime and 10th street down the road that’s green

and winding

past the bushes cypress thriving past the chain

link fence

and driving

further down the road less traveled

there u are athleisure wear unraveled

now I see you clear

 

standing stoic blue and denim

eyes not blue but clear like

heaven

 
you don’t want to be forgotten
 
you just want to disappear
