Looking at your face is like staring into a void
I brought you back
You show me your face
Children laugh and play
In chains you drag your
Feet to the marketplace
You smile like a child
You are not deceived
You had dreams before

The sun rises in a pillar of flame
You hide in a fortress of sadness
I never knew you
Your shoulders bend for a statue in living rock
Operculum of silver, the sculptor signs his name
Sun devours moon with relish
I am a scent on the sighing breeze, an ever-rising laugh like bells

Caught in the sphere of your umbra, the sun sets like a wound of scarlet
Do not let these words confuse you
You are looking for a message you left behind
Staring at the horizon
My heart is filled with fever
Your diplomacy beats down on me and promises rain
It has been a long time since I felt a fear of life
You promised to share the alchemy of your gaze with me
It burns through your ozone and I dissolve
