lyrics

hot - barely pull breath through burlap. taut - soaking with sweat & mud. watch streets recede through the weave. chatter in unknown language. peek - sun across cloudless sky streaks, long-exposed.

& the days combine.

drop, fluttering, conscious, then i'm not. cellophane flecked with glass & rocks. engines tick at an unmarked dumping site. a dozen cars like mine.

& the days combine.

in the all-seeing red, where the last hours limp, sand melts to cobalt glass when someone throws the switch. i walk the fields alone in the world-destroying rain. half-life undisclosed; motive unexplained. what will ever stop this thrashing of machines? all will be transformed in the garden's gleam.

& they rake the sand. & take all that's born to them. & sow native grass. & load the starting gun again.

captured & cowed - our words reclaimed. but no secrets can stay kept when we have faith.

summon the will; force our way in. when no light shines down, these hands are laboring.

bruised, broken, & bare - burn through the scared city. hide all through the night; forms in the black all breathing. find our cleaving ground; wait for the sound of tires.

unseen through the gale; distant & frail voices. foundry bulbs all blaze; hands clasp in crazed & desperate ties through the divide. dragging him through the veil.

when the apertures close & we survey the debris - two more trapped inside for every one who leaves. ash on the desert floor; glass sticking to our feet. tracking our river of red back to the vacant city. the violence of what comes next, we'll witness with our own eyes & be told that we did not see!
