Stretched Elastic

Crickets scream as the sun scorches my skin
Outlining your shape for the gravel to wear
Stretch the elastic that holds up your hair and
Attach to a new definition
You whispered "I love you", an elemental pleasure
It feels good sleeping together
Ocean only big with eyes closed
And only there to obscure a sense of home
I stretch the elastic that holds up my hair and
Attach to a new definition

I am a human being, which instincts should I not be feeling?

Moon glistens on suburban rivers water
Wild life of North America
Curse the chocolate in my teeth
Made from the bean you told me to eat
I stretch the elastic that holds up my pants
To align my own idea of friendship
Feet planted on the soil
That craves seed when fertile

I am a human being, which instincts should I not be feeling?
Which instincts should I be feeling?

Splinters from the floor in my feet
Your thoughts are finding someone new to eat
Vibrance of flowers blooms in the spring
The blue skies North American
The stretched elastic, a broken hairband
Dressed up in winters remnants
A spill on the hardwood
With no definition
