lyrics

Lights overhead. A storm gathering
inside—me, everything, no wonder we
all die: magnetized, we stratify against
our own constraints, split in half and half
and half and half and half and half;
we float toward some kind of hole,
and float down, a crucial kind of settling,
whether drenched in chemicals or ignited,
the final ending, taken by the mind, 
spreading. There was a story there:

Below the firmament moon glow, my witnesses will go where I have dreamt. Wind, blow. I beckon them.

Ribcages’ faces pressed against the skin,
a sun too strong or too weak bearing down,
and the moon is a kind of release from this
leash of flesh. The sun just makes us sweat,
and the sweat will not feed the crops. You
are the likeness of a wasp, nesting overhead,
holding the self to patience (follow, follow, 
where I have led); but waiting to see whom 
it is you should hurt. The weakening of
the dirt, the soil softens, and it was all a trick:
mouths open and swallow us: we become
a spirit spinning through the darkness.
Hades, call my name. I am brave.
