The Clearcut |
| Our hearts will ring hollow |
| In the silence of the clearcut |
| Where our hungry ghosts stalk the scalped hills |
| And we’ll find no sign on these slopes and fields |
| Nor in the fate we have written |
| In the scars of the land |
| Land-drinker! |
| Your truth is unspoken |
| Wretchedly you climb |
| Content to gnaw on the bones of your children |
| Our lungs to the fumes |
| Teeth to the grindstone |
| Our eyes splintered in unsleeping light |
| Oath-breaker! |
| Your hope has unraveled |
| There is a warp in the world |
| That flies from the cleft in your tongue |
| Sallow folds of painted rust |
| Splint of the bone, wrack of the writ |
| Caught in the teeth of the wheel |
| The earth has burned black beneath our feet |
| Yet still beneath the coil of the withered root |
| There is still life in the silence |
