about

Where you were then, where I was then and where we both are now, but further.

lyrics

the poem:

perhaps the wind
listens as our defenses
begin to wane after dusk
releases the breeze
to lift and hold what
we could never bear
in this world (alone)

perhaps the starlight
senses the dissonance
as our will begins to falter
sends a shimmering light
toward us as refuge
from the dark matter
that fills the void
where we shall finally break

perhaps the trees
in their effortless way of
knowing the deeper realms
come with welcoming arms
to offer a sheltering guise
shedding their bark
like the loose skin
trailing in our wake
perhaps time carves for us
an intaglio of hollow relief
etches a meandering atlas
that traces as the debris
flows slides spreads to
finally topple then settle
into the alluvial plain of
our restless weathering

i do not know i say this only
because the absence
which is now resting
in the places you belong
tells me it is so

yes, like you but further
further away
