Forever

Every House Is On Fire

I wasn’t born 
Into my own home
I was left to be alone
Into the night
Out of the known world
Right into the island’s eye
Can you hear the voices on the shore
Rising from the dirty ocean floor?


Idle Shore

A hand at dark
Reaches for my heart
To pull me in 
But man, I will not give
To the roaring flame
Dancing high above our graves
Or to the royal blood
Of the ghost of God above

A silver moon
Pulls your tides into
The island’s eye
But no, I will not climb
Up that mountain
Just to fire an arrow in the sun
Or to the water’s edge
Of an island.

A secret hymn
Your voice on the wind
Is in my head
But I will not depend
On a ferocious king
Inside the cloud of unknowing
Or on my trembling hands
For an arrow in the sun again.
