The Heavy Wait

Unwavering Instrumentals

Of Silence and Snow

Address Us In Cool

Flurried Fragments

Casting Plaster Paragraphs

Of Quiet Notes Which

Lay, Quilting Georgia Flats

And Other Places

In Need Of No Great Equalizer

For True Turbulence, There is none.

A Make-shift

White Washed World

Momentarily Cleaned of impurities

A soft Caucasian Solace

To be muddied by Sullen Shoes

Tracks of progression

Translate into streams

Of Colored Chorus

And malevolent reward

Melt down into Moth-Eaten Mistakes

Classic Chords of Speculation

With great intent,

Comes unclaimed consequences

That the disciples of silence

Will surely be back

To Once Again Incubate.

Beautiful yet Sinister, Like Your First

Slowly With No Emotion,

The Composition Stacks Bit by Bit

Rhythmically putting weight

On that which will Happily fall.
