under the glaze of morning dew,
a burning numbness in these bones
can't help but remember back,
to joints frozen in fallatical fear
of harsh quakes and subtle lacks
greased anchors lumbering
never dodging any attack
lodged bullets long missing
crashing craters in a hollow back
and I too awkward and dumbstruck
too shortsighted to fire back

(wake)

jolts jitter these bones every so long
reminders of the cavities mentioned in song
carved harshly inlaid
structuring your days
even if you thought they had gone

(look)

you were the same body who
cracks and curves too
the world is itself
you can't be anyone else
so live now by moving you

(remember, reason)

to sail the ocean blue,
tides turning in every hue
you must seal the hull,
drain your skull
learn to trust anew

(move)
