Now Look What You Have Done, by Sol De (2024)

1.

Another day passed by meAlways stuck inside and out of reach On and on until it's overNo head upon my shoulders When you're coming over It's colderOn and on until it's over No head upon my shoulders When you come in closer It's colderAnother day passed by meAlways stuck inside and out of reach Walking inside...

2.

Dried in the sun On purpose to forget Skull in the pavement Something might relent None of this is special None of this is hard Dried up in the sun Your daily disregard Dried in the sun On purpose to forget Skull in the pavement So something might relent I'll worry bout it next time Don't mind if I forget I'll worry bout it next timeDon't mind if I forget Dried in the sunOn purpose to forget With bad sense we hit the streets And though we thought life complete Guess what? No one's lying down.

3.

They tore down All the statues In midsummer with love All the mirrors Crash and slug Light morals Crash and then slugLiving without myself For months now I've forgotten how I look All I know is what my love looks likeAs we lay by a pool of water With no reflection

4.

Want for killing timeWant for pity’s shineWade through sea of droolAwaiting a limpid rule Fools for love(Gorgeous and stupid)Zealots of leisure(Blinded and lucid)Tipping the waves(Drunk on plans undone)Just for crashing(Moths flying to the sun)Look forwardTo the dayHollow eyesShow the wayIn darkness

5.

Waves arisingHands are falling Off the clockYou were dancingCalling the moon downFlesh of midnightCalling out your name againEmpress of twilightEating the hearts of everyoneWhat was I singing?What did you stuff in my mouth?Choked with salivaDrinking from your wound

6.

It’s so simple To waitFor the endKeeping timeOn your sideStuck wantingTo breakEvery chainEvery cycleOf the mind

7.

Now look what you have done Don’t know what you got ‘til it’s goneSo give your love awayIf you’ve got to be the know it allGive your all awayWhat you see is only as you areFace among the starsLetting go is giving backDancing the eternal—Now look what you have done

Pretend Don't fightUnburdened and light Just rest If you could You would The water is fine Surprise I fled from truth But now it's set me loose Miro las manos,el vestigio del agua sonora,cayó a la tierra,se fué.Just give me a window that's all I need That's all we need.

In the field of warm Saturdays, the dry spells of my memory make it always “right now.” There is a gentle breeze that feels sent from someone very far away who wants the best for me. In this clear tide pool of not much thinking, everything is as it appears on its face. The sky is just as it seems, turning blood orange and mauve in the sunset sunrise, the constant end-beginning-end. And now, I’m ready to sleep; the world does not need me around to observe it anymore. My job is obsolete. This familiar park has nothing left to say. The palm fronds shedding like dogs have nothing left to say.

I have nothing left to say.
