1. Lifting Skies
2. Approach
3. Through Wires
4. It Speaks
5. The Calm of Unlight
1. Lifting Skies
THROUGH THIS WINDOW, EYES LIFT DARK SKIES TO REVEAL NATURE’S WEAKNESS.
HER ROOTS RUN DEEP BENEATH TEARS OF EARTH NEVER STOPPING.
CLOUDS ROLL IN A THREATENING SHADE OF GREY, TO SWALLOW THE HEAVENS.
SKIN COVERED EYES SEARCH FOR THE NIGHT BEYOND THE ORANGE PALE LIGHT.
SKIN COVERED EYES REVEAL THE ORANGE PALE LIGHT BEYOND THE NIGHT.
2. Approach
TAKING THE SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO PROBLEM SOLVING.
SLOWLY FEELING THE WEIGHT BUILDING TO BRING ME TO MY KNEES.
CONVENTIONAL METHODS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS.
3. Through Wires
...AND WITH AN EAR TO THE GROUND, FAINT TREMBLING OF FOOTSTEPS DISAPPEARS.
NOW THERE IS NO MOVEMENT. BREATH THROUGH WIRES ARE CHOKING.
STEP THROUGH THE DOORWAY. THE STEADY RED GLARE GRABS MY ATTENTION.
YOU WERE NUMB THROUGH THE WIRES. WAVES CONTINUE TO RUSH FROM EAR TO EAR.
4. It Speaks
A RIVER OF DISCONTENT BLUDGEONS THE EARTH BY SENDING
A DISTRESS SIGNAL OF LIGHT DIRECTLY TO THE CENTER OF OUR SOULS.
HANGING IN THE BALANCE BETWEEN DUSK AND DAWN,
ONLY TO BE AWOKEN BY THE WIND BLOWING IN THE FORM OF A WHISPER,
REDUCING THE NIGHT TO A SHADOW.
IT SPEAKS. IN THE DEAD OF SLEEP, IT SPEAKS.
5. The Calm of Unlight
I'M LEFT TO ROT IN THIS CONCRETE LAND OF BARE EARTH AND DEAD FLESH.
WE’LL TRY TO BURY THIS CANCER WITH OUR WITHERED AND DEAD.
THE CALM OF UNLIGHT WILL CARRY US ALL TO A PLACE UNVENTURED,
A FATHOM OF OUR SPIRIT SEEN THROUGH OUR EYES.
WE ARE LEFT TO ROT IN THIS CONCRETE LAND OF BARE EARTH AND DEAD FLESH.
WE TRY TO BURY THIS CANCER WITH OUR WITHERED.
