Before There Was This
Before There Was This
David J Walker
Where were we before
There was this
What have we to fear
But the abyss
When our houses are fallow
And the echoes are
Endlessly distant and we
Lament the defenses of
A lifetime built
The nighttime wilts in
Its metaphor of death
At the surprise that faith in
The sunrise wasn’t misspent
Where were we before
There was this
