Not very long ago
It was too cold to move
Now it’s too hot to even breathe
The grasses strain to grow
The brittle’s pushed to break
The sparrows sigh; cicadas seethe
Despite my trembling
Despite my dread
I can say, with everything but certainty:
There’s a morning still ahead
That is, unless the earth
Begins to melt away
Unless we all are swallowed-up
But now, for what it’s worth
I’ll hold on tight to you
Like you’re a hard-won loving-cup
Despite my trembling
Despite my dread
I can say, with everything but certainty:
There’s a morning still ahead
I am so full of waste
And empty little wants
For Things have swayed me with their song
I like the way they taste
The way they satiate
As they come running down my tongue
Despite my trembling
Despite my dread
I can say, with everything but certainty:
There’s a morning still ahead
It’s been too dry to hope for anything
But even I can still admit
There’s a respite, there's a breath
If you’ll only wait for it
So, wait for it, wait for it, wait for it…
