Jul 2019
I'm not as patient as I could be
New trials today
In yesterday's courts
I am humbled
Against my faults
Bare witness to me
Hands open
Palms bleeding
I will not forget
The weight of your words
Be they shackles
Around my neck
Bracelets on my wrist
An unbeautiful adornment
There are no forgotten here
Among tombstones
These etchings belong to ghosts
Hollow souls filling up the earth
She was barren once
Now she lays in sonder graves
Of her children
They do not acknowledge her
She spins her regrets
On wooden looms
Memories woven
Back when the earth was black
I lay here, still, unmoving
Formless and void
Fill me up again
Let me taste of laughter
I bit it once
From your lips
This is the craving
That will not abait
My veins know better
Than the wisdom of my head
Lay me down
In the valley
Between the mountains
I knew you once
Called you by name
Will you answer me again
In gentle humility
We are all on fire
I can't sit, to watch you burn
You are not made of sun
Stars, or the sky they belong to
Flames forget
I remember
I remember
I knew you once
Call me by name
I crave you still
Give yourself up
I will surrender
I remember
