The World Is Falling |
We have spent rudderless nights waking up on a sail of regret |
She’d sit up, upon the bed, and angled to the west |
Dipped our fingers in, oh, the water, it was wet |
Dampness and shame, salty curls around the napes of our necks |
Punctured by the compass needles, riled with certainty |
The rescue boats are useless when none of us can agree |
Hear the briny call, the ocean’s gusty gnashing of her teeth |
Breaking up the pretty cups and taking what she needs |
There’s a knocking on the hull, you hear it |
There’s bones a-rattling under us |
We set out without the smarts to fear it |
With ignorance and gutless trust |
Tell me once again if everything is as it seems |
If things are getting better, what’s that crashing down the stream |
The wind, you say, the storm that came, remember our retreat |
And darker days might come and stay, and signal our defeat |
If drug up from the muck, I reel in what I hope will be |
A trove of golden apples from the golden apple tree |
Flush with fertile seeds, I give them all away for free |
For this our people should be known throughout all history |
But from here we crouch and watch the plunder |
Of the world we built with sweat and love |
Why were you not built for wonder |
Why will you never get enough |
You say when you landed you could tell |
That your conquest would go well |
Thought you wet yourself with fear |
You were sure your god was near |
The wind, you say, the storm that came |
And darker days might come and stay |
