waiting for lift off

i really hope you 
haven’t been waiting for me to continue,

because if i’m being perfectly honest,
i have no idea what’s going on half the time,
strike that,
i never know what’s going on,

this is just being made up
as i go, with little direction
as to where it’s all headed,
but if we’re being perfectly honest,
and i do feel like i can trust you, somewhat,
i don’t think

any-one is driving this ship,
or perhaps the map
got lost at sea, long, long ago

mapped out fantasy

petrichor falls apart,
ripping the fabric off,
sheets fall to the ground,
covering feet not meant to 
walk across this sacred ground
that doesn’t seem to be mapped out
yet,
though i’m sure that might change
quite soon
