lyrics

unknown

I read you
turn leaves into actions
and alchemy
devour poetry and sermons
philosophy, objections
your moon-solid-certainty
pulls tides as thoughts hauled through depths

the vision -
vermillion across oceans
is that
you do not know
you do not know that
“simple truths seem to change”*
because in knowing this your pen would weep
and in seeing this your mind would empty
and in learning this your books would burn

I would learn everything anew
- a baby
discovering the first dawn
and sunset
“and what I assume you shall assume
for every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you”**

bubbles burst surface
and rain subtle illumination
on mountains the world over
yet no mountain claims
‘this is my rain’
and no oceans say
‘these are my tears’

I return to the written word -
fluster that knowledge
encoded might unravel
undo thoughts
but I sink to
the ocean’s floor where
veins pulse ribbons
or constellations
or ribbons
or constellations
not yet known

(the tree falling in the forest
is still felt by the trees)

I read
when the very act of reading feels treasonous
I write
“be careful in valuing words”*

(remember to leave no trace)


* Lao-Tzu
**Walt Whitman
