Untie each knot Woven in this serpentine Of doubts and reasons not to Drop your empty pail Down the well You've come to count On in times Of severest drought.
A cough upheaved, Poured back down the well.
Time returns us all to dirt Where we reach toward the sky.
Sever worn ties Cut off the whole chase Spiraling down this plane crash circle. Your letters penned prayers All too late So spiral on down that drug you circle. When your engine Tastes those waves You're swallowed whole into endless circles.
Cough and crash.
Our pilot's dead, Fasten straight ahead At the crash, Greet the shattered glass.
Please help me Lick these wounds clean. No hope, No God Save me.
When the ground breaks you'll stop Crashing downward. High as great pyramids and yet The bricks tear Lives like leaves down.
In this collapse Can we fall through the cracks? In this collapse Can we only lose what's lovely?
March toward the cliffs Bound and gagged, Blind and Mute.
Lay us down Scraped clean from the marrow of your bones.
