Future Ghosts

Stuck in time shadows under my pillow awake me
walk into the window looking down at the shiny metallic monster
your soft sticky pearls surround my mind to capture
looking down to see what’s going on down under
too many future ghosts and density on the run
looking back there’s something there to imagine
looking back to see what’s going on the downside
that look in your eye could it turn steel into dust?
Years ago you know our instincts were lost
