lyrics

among the whispers and the wax-piss;
among the great leaves of the Northern
knights, I am crawling, ephemerally,
eternally, I never learned to walk.
do not ask me to lift a lightning bolt
of leg, keys jangling like a foam chain-
don't ask for my breath.
I lost it long ago, among the gentle
gusts of gods-gone-wrong, among
the children laughing at my ugly,
with the habits, horrors,
and the general anxiety.

I don't know.
it isn't something I can just
tell you about.
there was no start and finish to it.

do not ask for the growling valleys,
the wallpaper's shell, the
wheat-like consistency,
the golden shits I took and the tears
I built an orchard with for you.
this is not pathetic.
this is a reckoning for
radical change.
