Lost Wisdom |
I got close enough to the river that I couldn’t hear the trucks |
But not close enough to stop the roaring of my mind |
These rocks don’t care if I live or die |
Everyone I know will finally turn away |
I will confuse and disinterest all posterity |
Lost wisdom |
Is a quiet echo |
Lost wisdom |
By the edge of the stream at dusk |
Is a quiet echo on loud wind |
With one hand in the water running cold and clear |
Fog obliterates the morning and I don’t know where I am |
The heart is pounding and you are always on my mind |
Lost wisdom |
Is a quiet echo |
Lost wisdom |
A boulder under the house |
I used to know you |
Now I don’t |
The screaming wind said my name |
I think significant and dark |
My lost face in the mirror at the gas station |
Who are you above my face that I wake up with alone |
Lost wisdom |
Approaching shape in the low light |
You thought you knew me |
You thought our house was home |
I thought I knew myself |
I thought my heart was calm |
Thunder, lightning, tidal wave |
The wind blew down the door |
Lost wisdom |
The river goes through the room |
I saw your picture out of nowhere |
And forgot what I was doing |
Everything vanished in your eclipse, |
A constellation of moments comes to life in the void |
Lost wisdom |
Face down under the moss |
Enraptured by the beautiful face in the billowing flames |
I open the front and back door and let the wind blow through |
And I stood in the house and tried to hold the breeze |
Lost wisdom |
Waking up in a pile of ash |
Secret knowledge |
Comes to me in the dusk |
You showed me the river |
I saw me |
