(Dandelion) - Imaad Wasif

The swollen new will grow dim

The swarm of my wings surround you

Thicken the heat of blood

The fine old sound

Collapse into silken flesh

Fingers they will caress

Entwined in the feral vines

The scratch and claw

Ravens' beak strike my cheek

A trail of tears scatter feathers

I have been cannabalized

Oh dandelion

No remains in my stead

Long past, long past

That which escapes me

I was weaker once

Oh eclipsed

La la la la la la

la la la la la la la

la la la la la la

Then I could still be happy

I sought thee

In overdose

Long with (?)

The sender whole

The warning soul

Sees my suicide

The bulb is bear

The blue is cheer

The pulses of heaven

I can’t hold on forever

I can’t hold on forever

I can’t hold on forever
