Snap out of it

[Recitativo]
Six a di mawnin’ pon di clock,
sky look like it half-buss again.
street empty but a front like it full.
mi breathe an’ it fog up like di whole world jus’ sigh out.
funny how healing sound like pure static.
funny how mi still deh yah.
[Aria — soft, lowercase energy]
sun kinda haunt di horizon,
like, nuh rush, jus’ roll up.
grass a drip slow gold,
like earth cry pretty-pretty tear.
mi did used fi call it lonely,
but a jus’ di gap before peace load up.
no big epiphany, no God text back,
jus’ mi one.
an’ dat… weirdly enough fi real.
love nuh bun no more,
it hum low.
like back a old box TV.
still deh. still warm-warm.
(quiet echo, maybe type but nuh press send)
hey. mi forgive yuh.
[Cabaletta — tempo up, still chill]
yeah, night done lick out.
nuh vex.
mi done wid di ghost war inna Notes app.
world glitchy but kinda sweet bad.
yuh memory still a buffer all bout di place.
dat alright.
mi alright.
if love a loop, mi let it run.
no skip. no repeat. jus’ fade out nice.
mi choose di maybe. mi choose di real.
mi choose di mi
weh hold out.
(music fade, sky bleed pink)
Mi Savior… mi peace… mi maybe… mi light.
