lyrics

Endurance

I came to a raw and cloying resignation.
I do not belong to the places and conversations
that I am standing in. The air is filled with acrid humanness.
The jarred angles of my speech.
When did a stone made of glass serve as a fetish for silence?
An outplaced refinement. This is a wave more necessary to the ocean.
This is the crusade of quiet.
The crumpled shadow of a too-hungered dog.
One day the only landscapes turned from naked deaths
will not be deserts. From this we fall and write and pray an order
to the earth, to a heartbeat more faithful than ours.
