Keep it together
It together
In the quiet corner
There’s always action
If you want in the
Sound of the surf
On the rocks
In the grass
And it’s getting closer
There’s always action
If you don’t mind
Making it hurt
We wipe the dew from our eyes
Only to blink at the sun
Hear a familiar voice
But it’s coded
Stretch the folded fingers
To the chosen one
Try to sing from the page
As you wrote it
Store the heat
In your skin
Baby salamander
Conserve yourself
With no motion
Rest for the flight
In the dust
On the pins
There is no water
The air is thin
The air is cold
In the livid night
If you’re born
As a fly
Would I recognize?
Winged beat
Against the air
As your lonely voice
If you’re born
As a child
To a stranger
Will our paths
Intertwine
Or have I lost my chance?
