we took a walk by the fire when the sun came down to land witnessed the trees and the briers hold each other’s hands and seeing the animals run forsaking their homes they seemed so alone together
these are the souls in your path as unfaithful as the sea and these are the ones you will trust for eternity and all you betrayers of faith who live in denial you’ll see only birds forever
and I keep a note from the past where my words are not as clear and if I could finish with that and disappear if I could get everything under control wouldn't there be a river for them all?
even if I’m lost in this constellation even if I’m alone on this flight even if I’m late for the celebration I’m hearing the mute he whistles tonight set this sore emotion to the light
maybe the serpents of wrath made it safe behind the door and maybe I don’t need to ask for an elegy even the fires of hell eventually die I think I heard a bluebird in the sky
