You are Earth
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
