lyrics

He yearns for the all-rich, prevailing rout of the night storm.
It brings to his sleep a future of better dreaming, knowing flight
comes from where secrets breach the hoary thud of his rib cage
and take leaps blocks-long through the night,
where the destruction most of all touches down in a rage
to run and soar with him,
well above the very late, very ponderous hours
he would spend listening to the blood in his ears
or his weeping mother.
What memories this bearing serves
may prove too elusive, too slithery to isolate on command,
but they will all eventually come to wait like patient donors
somewhere ahead of him.
The little he will come to own and tend to and care deeply for
will still fly there, gathering up the ruins of youth
when he laughs alone, drink in hand,
the faithful arts of will at his side.
Only then can he walk from room to room
and open doors to see that he doesn’t wait
behind them, poised to strike
at the child he becomes again.
