Firstborn (Ya'aburnee) |
Glass clouds shed their autumn skin |
Kiss the mourning stems as they bow to the wind |
Heads hung like wartime mothers |
As the congregants struggle to console one another |
We’re bandaged together, soothing the surcease |
Huddled inside the fog beneath the barren trees |
Budding youth, unfettered by absolutes |
Do branches wither first when there’s blood on the roots? |
Can you stretch a moment into a thousand? |
Away from the quiet collapse of it all |
I know the Know who knows you, I see the see who sees you |
I’ll follow you into forever |
I memorized your pain |
I put my thoughts inside your name |
Little Light, can’t you see? |
You’re supposed to be the one who buried me |
I tried to stop the flood, I tried to pull you from the tide |
Now you paint the sky with distant fire |
The room lay quiet, sowing silence |
Watching lifelines stream through wilting arteries |
Dreams crash with awe behind your roving eyes |
How I envy the calm that occupies your mind |
Drifting just above the flatline |
That keeps your thoughts displaced from mine |
I can’t divert the current |
I divide and wash ashore |
I’ll try to write you to rest |
Plant you inside my prose |
Yet my resolve |
Does it shake beneath a four-foot casket shadow? |
The ink has spilled across the page |
Shaping surviving sun to shade |
Valleys and peaks, in grief |
Descent into a ceaseless sleep |
See how the night unfolds |
Constellations welcome you home |
Adrift in the river beyond our memories |
You bury me |
I memorized your pain |
I put my thoughts inside your name |
Little Light, can’t you see? |
You’re supposed to be the one who buried me |
I tried to stop the flood, I tried to pull you from the tide |
Now you paint the sky with distant fire |
I memorized your pain |
I put my thoughts inside your name |
Little Light, can’t you see? |
You’re supposed to be the one who buried me |
I tried to stop the flood, I tried to pull you from the tide |
Now you paint the sky with distant fire |
