the starving rain
Stings and chills
Hand and hand
Up rocky chipped
Sovite and Slate
With fingers numb
Against the earth
This fight is won
Body fails
On highest peaks
Where silence reigns
And lovers meet
I grow weary and warm. I am tired and torn
A shadow’s eyes
All Hollowed out
Deeper than
The tallest clouds
Cast a gaze
With soundless lips
Absolving blame
On rocky cliffs
Speechless gods
In disarray
I’ve toppled pillars
Rattled gates
I grow weary and warm. I am tired and torn
The fractured sea
Rolls and turns
Trembling ground
Fire burns
With lightning blasts
Answers come
Down from the sky
In the form
Lead into caves
To shield me from
The answers now
I grow weary and warm. I am tired and torn
