these things that shift are shadows
tell me again
i've been thinking reasons up to suspect their intent
you were right, i begin,
maybe it's the old space
maybe it's the wind again
but i've been thinking things that don't make sense
like who placed this stone on my tongue?
who placed this stone on my tongue
you did
you taught me these new languages
a swelling tilted melody
a swiftly swinging harmony
it never ends
the sounds that sound are shimmers
like light likes empty corners
like empty words are broken
sound fills out without the meaning
you were quiet
i rescind
maybe it's the house just filling up the spaces
but i've been thinking things and losing them
like who placed this stone on my tongue?
who placed this stone on my tongue
you did
i'll learn to hold it still and sing
songs sung like a sacrilege
round and round its rolling edge
it never ends
