| We were nothing but clenched nails
|
| Lips gone mute in the line of sight
|
| Soloists in the same show that never went up
|
| Sitting at the front row
|
| Staring at the stage
|
| Waiting for a standing ovation
|
| Placing green paper on a pedestal’s face for the lay of the land to get
|
| syphoned, schooled, and traced again
|
| I mean
|
| As if going crippled with a ripple of fucks
|
| And being hurled into a cubby hole for the meaning of things wasn’t enough
|
| You can taste it on the winds of skin
|
| Tall vowels
|
| Moon burns and spearing vocals
|
| As all hands talked to each other
|
| Let the dust settle
|
| And burst the resolve during the gathering of hues
|
| There was no night to question belonging
|
| But rather answer to our calling
|
| Take it from the top
|
| ‘ cause space and reflections live there
|
| Bear in mind though
|
| The returnal inhale is in talking tatters
|
| So with a late-for-work tempo
|
| Blink thrice
|
| And find a little made-to-be-me breath
|
| Because we all return to air
|
| Crunchy water and dank dirt
|
| We all return to air
|
| Bless
|
| We can’t turn back it’s a one way trip |
