what place is this under no stars
what we hold in common

against endings what wreckage
what movements to articulate

what would i speak
tied to our burning house                                   the walls

what is buried isn’t simply buried
what might have been if

what do you think we’ll find
what comes to hand and tongue                        are starting to give

to insist upon land as where to begin
what else do you see

that can’t be described
what we’ve lived through                                   nothing back

what would you speak
untied from fire

what ghosts do you hear
to rise of song
