Origins 07:29
My muse cloaked in burial ochre Bloom-less waits dirt-muffled wisdom Still bay points to southern stars as I became its voice “Words once passed as wasted rivers I offer now as relief A line bled through the beginning Lights all you’ve see before Over me words seep as water Distorted layers eroding context Comfort ceased your progress, halted Wake now Words once passed as wasted rivers I offer now as relief A line bled through the beginning Lights all you’ve see before” Ahead the curved forgotten path Worn once and again and now overgrown Archetype to my eyes Unknown to my feet Who as animals carrying action and fear Burden themselves with meaning and faith Through all this we crawl along Feeling for what’s just ahead Echoes in the open room Blue the border somewhere said Delivers us into the doom

The Tick 06:32
What pressed the sky Falls yellow red gray Breathing sun fire On unfamiliar land A blind step ahead Drawing me from home As words rehearsing memories Fit the gaping mouth I am lightweight empty unburdened hollow We are ruined now I sit where you were With all the camp alight Repelling beasts to dreams Dig my flesh with pointed knife Where clinging remnant feeds I am lightweight empty unburdened hollow We are ruined now I sit where you were We are ruined now I am as you were For those with dread the cadence lands Where life succumbs in hostile hands Beyond which an ocean that pulls us in from distance Hope fuels then halts the constant flight Where ruins haunt in scattered light A vision of freedom gives way to dreams of drowning This is the weight of greater plans Will that our clarity demands The time comes for leaving, pushed pulling free or captive We are ruined now I sit where you were We are ruined now I am We are ruined now I am as you were

Remember we heard laughter Moment we arrived Carrion lay crumpled Gaze fixed to the sky Blinking from the branches Daybreak wings agape Vultures over white oak Sniffing lives below Trouble follows striving Ambition’s other half But they see done and over For most what’s just begun Dreams here gather useless Clatter sipping glass Sink in adoration And empty through its cracks Trouble follows striving Ambition’s other half But they see done and over For most what’s just begun And when the weight of failure press upon us Another reach for silver could have been A gasp of effort sparks and lights intention And stands contrast to actions led astray Never seen such beauty flying Never smell as keen as they Never feel the beaks and clawing Never noticed how they play Against clouded ultraviolet Stark black winged v’s All you noticed: ugly Sitting in the trees

Till us as these decisions landed Here by hand or insect wing Each of these alone could spring a forest And dense enough conceal the sun They seed the air in battles reaching Ever up to heavens stretch Ever envy dance celestial And re-exposed to every night Variety a maze to fathom Where each alone a looming mass Intricate and all consuming The ways of nature god and man Seen at first in two dimensions Here the choices stand surround Drunk we’re drawn from one to one To all at once again stretched shallow And circled steps compress the ground To this point that most my strains Trod here with little aim So spent life: to silence the heart of youth A heavy toll for wandering truth By way avoidant of passing pains I know that this is where we make a choice Everything to now in step with those whose absence seeds us, leads us Leaves behind the looming catchers of morning who now stand exposed And with them we wait And with them we wait

The Gift 06:47
I have felt invisible Through your eyes Prepare me For threats external Your voice A weight on all I hear You are more cloak than conscience Sharpen the image and blade Blunt trust and elation Broadcasting through a gesture Shoulders bare the apparition Worry worry guardian keeper Worry worry violence comfort Has it safe to sleep in the hole we prepared Crushing hope against me Nurturing my fear of death Take all I had saved for others Douse the burning to express Worry worry guardian keeper Worry worry violence comfort Has it safe to sleep in the hole we prepared You have adapted to Thrive with attention Light that used to burn you away Now casts two shadows Fallen low to injure as it saves Return to an image Child in a windstorm Braced for the tumult Rooted against hope Beg he let go

The Means 03:03
You think that it’s that you have not enough when Not enough in yourself have I taught you to see You’ll flail freed and formless absorbed in an ocean Doubt all that you grasp for but me Wield, deny, the tools mark your hands Parade what I give you your work becomes mine Wield, deny, the tools mark your hands Parade what I give you your work becomes mine The task for happy renders self satisfaction For vanity your mouth split your defenses wide Insecurity the anchor of ruin Adorned as a virtue what’s held to the fire Traps for the sentimental and open-minded Traps for good listeners and imbeciles alike Wield, deny, the tools mark your hands Parade what I give you your work becomes mine

Open 07:02
I’ve made two of all you see One in hand one out of reach Stoic still though prize betrays Pull at life in waste of rains How long were you Awake to what you know to be true A thousand smaller choices yield A single flowered mind Regret at once the wandering You did okay, you did alright, you did fine I’ve cut half of what you know Take in faith and in mind Channels worn for separate ways Drawn to light of dying day Glorious the sight of it glorious Distilled at last the task at hand to pushing gears A thousand separate movements yield Forward only aimless yet Crooked paths are no cause for worry You did okay, you did alright, you did fine However in reflected flow Draining from familiar shapes A prize afloat with sullen eyes Lifeless as our every fate Press along the edge of open Drop questions cloaking comfort You did okay, you did alright

Blue Doom 08:56
I came unto The mirror: myself Called through distance, salted skies, here it is Stretching blank The rolling glass Beyond crushing terror rests In twilight wrath Earth released A haste-bound raft of dried drowned wood I’ve clamored to Reach an ending Down the depths sustaining me But no burial rites Recall misfortune For solitary death at sea One against The waves in chorus Who push against in voices known “We love you and await your return” I won’t Every douse and dip Every contact Rip the warmth from my skin Dripping life Dispersed in motion Disappear in churning blue “We love you and await your return” I won’t “We love you and await your return” For so long I feared this moment Played familiar in swirling thoughts Above, below, suspends unending Drawing me through blues apart Drawing me through blues apart Came unto the mirror: myself Tracing fingers leave no mark Stretches endless as new life writhing Drawing me through blues apart
