surrendering carbon to carbon
 shedding this shell dna to grass
 dust to dust

 carbon extentions keep on growing
 the world keeps spinning
 today it feels so slow

 if life is dust, mist, nothing then
let me cross that river
 don't build me a bridge
 give me a millstone and rope
 
 i'll die that death, then carry me to the table bring me to the place where I can gaze on nothing else
 Your Crown. Your Eyes. Your Scars. Your Face. Your Love. Your Eternity. nothing less

 dying that death feels like life 
feels like truth
 feels like home
 feels like breathing for the first time
 -in and out, in and out- 
every breath is a second chance
 to say I love You
 to say I need You
 to say I want You
 to say I'm Yours
 to say nothing at all

 -in and -"thank You"
 
finally evergreen
now, pass the milk and honey
