Sunk
Deep in the crevice of your heart 
where only darkness lives 
is the stillborn that I long to rescue 
something has to give

Words left borrowed
 heavy on the heart
Actions defaulting
 stillborn and dark

Pawning the foundling

Wool
Get me some wool!
I will make a cloud which will actually fly
To take me to paradise
Where dads never die
And moms can hug their stillborn child

Stillborn
YOUR EYES SEE THROUGH
THE WALL BETWEEN US
BUT YOU CAN'T REACH IN
AND GRAB ME
SOLACE IN MY SOLITUDE
MAKES MY HEAVY BURDENS GAIN
THE FALL OF OUR MADNESS
WAS WHEN THE WORDS WERE FROZEN
THE SPRING WAITS
FOR THE SHADOW.
