When surgeons open my body
They’ll find
E v e r g r e e n
Snow capped mountains with endless expanses of ice
They will find a certain
s t i l l n e s s
No whispering between the trees
No flowers singing in the sun
I’ll be dreaming of the heat
I’ve been missing in my fingertips for so long
I have frost bite
on e v e r y s i n g l e o n e
When surgeons open my body
looking for my heart
they’ll find S t a t i c
A silence that e c h o s
A kind of silence you only know after tragedy
I have
An e m p t y space
where my lungs once were
Holding N o t h i n g
but a vigil witnessed only by one small girl with t i n y t i n y hope
All fading away
in the abandoned town
I have resting
between each breath
- When the surgeons open my body
- They will find many many secrets inside
