(i)-(vi) 25:15
(i) And now it is a love difficult to bear I am not a grieving child but a worshipper (ii) You are the sun, the grass the force that connects the two the cells that occupy my brain night and day thin membrane between here and there you still are I'll wait for you in the next clap of thunder the breeze that carries a million specks of pollen and dust into my lungs and out again (iii- to accompany the instrumental) Heavy above this palm stays the weight of every moment come to pass through the flesh that now retires melts and rests time floats, suspends squeezed from bones which purpose came to end a vessel, author of, countless breaths who wondered of creation behind the eyes carried now between my hands (iv) Will I see you again when I shed my body after all the time which will surely pass the space left behind me the sheer expanse the distance being put between us makes me shake (v) I told her body cold, goodbye not her face, her eyes never open to mine she left knowing what never left my lips I believe but cannot understand why it's not enough to keep her from my dreams and say the words, over every sleep sounds we never sung but knew all the same (vi) It's been six months now since I've seen you in the flesh sometimes I'm kept up by a violent reality so we'll sync our breaths and fall into silent conversation a scratchy wool sweater a spectral sunlit lawn an empty car with a presence a daughter, to illuminate remembrance we've got our place to meet we've never needed to speak and I can live with that for now
