lyrics

I

Witness as art
Observance the subject
Are all things deep as wells

From song, spring angels
struggle to walk

Confusion traces
No reason

II

child, Silence
execution –
are glasses
Razed

Confusion
traces
no reason

III

it comes back calling
not yet deadened,

The Wind The World
is Inverse
Frame it turned
out ashen falls the distance shores

go out, go in
Go out into the cold, get
into it

IV

Honor,
the first word
flap-reels
aimlessly at the corner;
horses:
Peel from the edges
flame

watch the librarian
watch empty pages
for no reason

V

When the soft voice is ready

confusion
traces
no reason

nor a fool’s reflection

VI

when hidden
time places
three plates at once

no imagine
New Year’s Day

can Memory,
stuck in your twilight,

be Dark? is thought
the map of that silence
now,

is the soft voice murky

how many ties
are ages dying
while white Mountains

peel out flames

is the soft voice ready

To fell a horizon,
equal,
Gate in years…

What is your honor
as red as happiness?

VII

Confusion
Traces
no reason

The Trance’s physical wind,
brutal horses’ wind,

Is the soft body ready

a stroke of genius
slid off proof

VIII

Reflect
a sound Walk forth
from ages since
past Life is given

a more honest reel,
from white sand thunder
stands as reals out turn
The distance

IX

Please break,
a tense glass raised:

To silence –
a form of treatment, Eyes

in time Less seconds

if ‘I’m
the moving
train,

Is the soft boy ready

X

Only one blown over, fallen, all nameless

– framework
cloth caresses,
void

XI

of a crimson backdrop, wind
no trace has been outlined,
not fallen; felled, All colors gone of a
green, the ribbon most certain

a library watches
the empty page, because
equals gaze in years

XII

– the framework
cloth caresses,
ceases

void
the Word,
the abysmal mountain
Come up from the Earth
“to the blasting.”
