one day, we belong this way
one of the family
perfect obscurity
a stone in the cemetery,
gathering moss and weeds
nothing to read about
look at or listen to
no more a memory
someone we never knew
some day we belong this way
tethered humanity
like gathering elephants
give up the ghost when they
forget you finally
nothing to read about
look at or listen to
histories midden pit
swallowing all of it
let it get older
gaining composure
seeing me out
some day we belong this way
personal consequence
almost a comedy
immortal promises
steering mortality
nothing to read about
look at or listen to
nows what your living for
you do what you gotta do
let it get older
gaining composure
seeing me out
some day we belong this way
one last savour of precious light
oceans of ages just float on by
and the world itself the calm of one
