Intergalactic

Bain of the breath how do I find you?

Thin back the cranes left in sky

As sacrifice, without last rite

It falls on thee to judge most high

In the pearl of a slummed day

The spirit of us was felt as soft cry

Yes, I’m sure you’ve inspired with love

But one is more than you are of one

It’s time we say goodbye to fair

Farewell to fate as wrung

What makes thee thy true assassin

You must ask but yet you know

As equals, as peoples

As bred foes we are the same

In parried odes to thy mountains

The spirit of us was pungent laughter

When every road is traveled hard

When every tear is shed for dirt

It’s time we say goodbye to fair

Farewell to fate wrung

We’ll leave our first kiss

For another lifetime

Another swell time

Another springtime

Another…

The voice of God is silence found

The breath of life is borrowed toil

Lift the cross I’m falling down

Peg the pale and brand forlorn

They wouldn’t cure, they needn’t seal

They wouldn’t save an honest savior’s soul

Count zero-zero

Zero save zero

Count zero-zero

Zero save zero

Zero save zero

Zero save zero

Zero save zero

In shadowed apses chant my names

Not by birth but the ones thus claimed

Zero save zero

Mother knew but she couldn’t know

What they’d do and what they’d howl, yeah

Zero save zero

In situ, zero

You think you’re first

You think you’re last

You feel you’re chosen

Choose what comes to pass

Count zero-zero

Zero save zero

Count zero-zero

Zero save zero

Zero-zed-zero

Zero save zero
