The Man With No Shoulders

Writer's picture: Justin KolosickJustin Kolosick



have seen all in both your faces

wanting now to be other places

bending down to tie my own laces

the thing that takes us over

takes away the thought of getting older

endless summers make your heart a little colder

the man without shoulders

all with hearts,  see him fall

placed, parked, planted, plunged

in an unanswered call on an emotional wall

rooted and muted with a disdain for the mundane

this thing that takes us over

the things we thought were long gone

come back to us

come back to us

once the curtains drawn

that thing takes over again

the man with no shoulders waves

from some forgetting place

far and away with just a tiny trace

no room to rent, no face to face

but your own, with no escape

come back to us

come back to us

Dear Man With NO Shoulders,

HE as feral as he wants to be

HE with the inability to let oneself be happy

HE crippled with fear from his younger years

HE a tortured talent suppressing primal tears

HE who gets caught up with catching up

HE who wants one way or none

HE to the limit with love

come back to us

come back to us

remember the things which mean most

these things are still quite close

lets toast to the way...... well, we'll see how it goes

this thing will never go

the man with no shoulders finds four

need we all want more
