Build a Light

(At the) end (of my) life
There's no way to make it into the light.
this time
I can get back down from this height

And just one more year
I will work to make the means to an end
this night,
And build a light that can shine.

It's mine to waste.
To leave without any trace.
trick up my sleeve.
put it up on the screen.

When I'm down,
turn off.
I fall on, but slip right off of the slide
I am on,
I feel the way I'm drawn.

below
the sea, the pressure crushes my mind,
and must
get to the surface in time.

a movie's starring my friend,
but I
will not get to the end

Although what a scene,
the one,
with Fay McKenzie
and Jean Darling
and Dorothy Morrison Green.
