show me what distance is
cast this body outward
we hear skin blooming
and see pollen in the air
we looked on from strands, fragments, dust
a vanishing lake
a bird's neck
the broom's resting place
the knife's blind spot
the plains go back to dreaming
through a pinhole, there's so much rot
anchors to be swept aside
down a trap door, there's so much space to breathe
I am through breathing
beneath, behind
inside each point
a stain pressed into form
collapsing toward us
above for so long

Into Water

medicine into water
cannot hold what it's given
form dissolves into silence
circling
medicine into water
buried in mid-air
your smallest pleasures
are the most that you can bear
it's not for us to reach through
memory decomposes
carries backwards
it knows an end
horizon descends
this breath is drawn for years
you're left with sundials

Carried
06:59
|
|||
|
knowing the lifespan of silence
a light that breaks unevenly
the present empties slow into dusk
an hourglass turned aside
each one describes the other in reverse
to make room for smaller things
glowing with insect phosphorescence
this absence can find itself
it will not hold the thing you call out for
the future was always screaming with desire
for polishing symmetry
depending on mountains to hear a cloud pass
and wanting each grain retold
it will not hold the thing you call out for

open, fade out
I see us coming closer
open the latch, take out what's left
I see our eyes drawn by embers
we will find only the flames of survival
it is stone and air now
our misfortunes were singing
a slow and dull rewilding of the soul
a single line, ever outward
green has found us in this place
it is stone and air now
I can see, she said
look up there, as she points and tightens her eyes
it is a smile from the landscape
we were soaked through with this place
it won't last, it won't last, it won't last

Half Sun
04:29

|
I can see from a distance
light without rays
a dissolving of boundaries
waiting for self
caught in ascending silence
it's simple to know
I will toss it to the stream
cut into you
each point will agree to give way in silent unison
the exhausted floorboards of winter will open to us
a thousand suns haven't grown these leaves
dissolving outward
stillness gorges itself here
becomes a threshold
an oceanic concession
dizzy with light
under something inside us
dissolving this dream
each point will agree to give way in silent unison
the exhausted floorboards of winter will open to us
