Silent

In dreams I have learned to drift
Taught by hands throwing shadows
As I dance with my parasite
Gleaming from the dark river running
I know that look
I know that song
It's so simple to turn my head
And listen to my own passing
Silent to my own ears
But a true deafening cadence
Whose words are but water
Cascading down my throat 
Soon it will be 58 years
And from this dream I will awake

The Escarpment

Above the venue of the lost 
And the disappeared
The forgotten fall beneath the crags
Beneath a now and deep forever
Hanging onto the blade
Of the escarpment
Lost above the humming trees
And harrowed by sleep
They are lulled into this world of forgetting
Carried away by the wind like leaves 
Their grip not strong enough
To be whoever they were to be
