I am the vibrancy and the smoke
I wonder about the correct path
I hear the daisies wilting on her grave
I see this labyrinth that traps me
I want to flee far far away
I am the vibrancy and the smoke
I pretend no one can get past my wall of books
I feel this match kill a part of me
I touch these walls that trap me
I worry I will be forgotten and waste away
I cry when I think of what I could've done
I am the vibrancy and the smoke
I understand that we are all trapped
I say all the things I never mean
I dream of breaking free
I try to help them truly live
I hope he'll learn from my mistakes
I am the vibrancy and the smoke
You won't find her,
those are the bones you never saw.
The sun sets
and her flowers turn white.
Dear Alaska
where did you go
Dear Alaska
please tell him no.
I got sidetracked
peering in the bone marrow.
We drank wine under the willow,
sang until you didn't feel hollow,
and I did, instead.
The tax men are coming,
collecting everything but vacancies.
Dear Alaska,
where did you go
Dear Alaska,
just let me know.
Careening off highways
was always your favourite past time
but none of us thought you'd take it
this far.
Don't lie to me, you northern beauty
You've been out of service for years.
Dear Alaska
where did you go.

Alaska Young, As Told by Miles
You're the most invincible, defiant,
breakable
person I have ever met.
person I have ever loved.
you want to know how to get out, out of the maze.
out of this labyrinth of suffering, labyrinth of pain.
take your white flowers and rush head on into your towers of books.
runrunrunrun.
only one layer between us now, a line blurred by Strawberry Hill and twisted obsessions with last words.
have you finally escaped?
