my slow break echoes
through and through
an empty world
timber splintered decay
how long the weary
before even weary
must fall down?
pale songs cut
our rebel selves

my slow break echoes
through and through
an empty world
timber splintered decay
how long the weary
before even weary
must fall down?
pale songs cut
our rebel selves

invisible i
and they
could care less
that my skies
have gone out
laying there
atop those
hollow hills
all night

the myths we make
of ourselves, those
pretty things untrue
a longing for silence
in this sodden head
to rest, buried deep
& loam embraced
drifting through

i wraith empty halls
where you cannot
see me even if
i tried
outside, a mournful owl
rages at the moon
his love lost
to this endless sea

my hands carry scenes
from a different winter
stiff with memories
yet to come
blood crust blades the snow
windswept carved the land
why only the never?
antlers stand silent of stone

like any fool
i remain clueless
watching maple seeds
helicopter from
sky to grass
wondering if,
like unspoken words,
they have any
intent

tonight i might try
dancing barefoot
spinning & yearning
for a dark angel dreaming
with that mark of moth
bare shoulder worn
just to see her smile
all grey the ravens
under the trysting moon
