Blind chance gilding

Piano wire teeth the keys the fleeting

Inside me we struggle for walls

The gong’s reflection midhour causes the lack

Stopping to see your bird’s catafalque you forget to listen

And cork-oak branches give you blooming lashes in return

Laughing at solace you rain

Stilted motion mouthing

Heels chatter at windowpanes

Shocked to shudder

The flax carves its name

Internality descends afraid

Daylight chopping the sound dead

Away the birds go wingless

The south was beyond hearing

He we are

Here are we quiet

With out silence you and us

Are as loud as silence can be

We are still he and here

We are and we are

Knees cripple our sunlight

As silence anchors the moon

Quiet as the still of loudness

And us are we he without

The loud of us

Now we furnish us who are he

We now are our knees bending

To the shrill of stillness of we are

And still are we still here as he

And still are we
