You are earth but I can’t feel the sky closing in

You haven’t seen my face but marked like mine


I’ve seen your hand in my sunglasses



And that’s just enough fight for me




Calling out does no good for petulant screams





I can’t believe you’ve never seen the sea







I know now you’ll never again want me







Ghosts in my hall and monsters in my soul









I couldn’t betray them if I tried









Silence is no sorrow I’ve ever known











Gravel and rock in my path wear and weather












All of my best feet have jaded holes













Lies untouched are never unspoken














Filth and fondness grow clandestinely
















Gazing nostalgically and infuriatingly far
















Find my ever mutable, lost, and final role


















Past is no present I’d imagine living again



















You are earth but I’m not closing in
