(Carmen)
It came
Overwhelming
Rise of day
Fall to night
Rise of night
Fall to day
Breath
Turns the pages
Earth our coincidental soul
.
“Soliloquy”
.
Sunrise someday-rage
Sundown someway-fight
Anchorless
Melting layers
Of folding self
This God self
I prayed
(the change)
I prey on this day
To Rise eyes
In balance
Above the sun
In blinded night
Faith
This one
Without fun
Must pay
To fight
.
I am
This day
To play
And I
This right
Passing torches
Hence
The absence of dark
Giving way
Remains of light
It comes
Yet becomes
Overwhelming
Striking out at skies that rain
Passages pass on pain
Translation of flight
(Carmen upon the Light)
Can you NOT fear this I beg you
This light that has been shed upon us
Year after year day upon day
This unobtainable light
Anchored in denial of defile
This life where we all began
Where we all end on trial
Please set down this light
Under it is too much glare staring
Faith in clouds and faces made so loud
Ear bleeds with our knees
Are we this afraid to breathe?
Today I cast away that light
In favor of good human right
That scientific light
And tomorrow is tomorrow
And still we’ll be alright
Let us become the one
That’s just right for life
Not sky sprits
Can you hear us?
The switch my friend
The switch is the light
Don’t be afraid
To turn it off
And say good night
Good chameleon friend
Stop this crazy time
In the name
Of no such sin
Be us both
Love and friend
