when the day
turns over
and the sky
stops burning
there will be
what has never come before
all this way
from the depths to the shore
born alone
under darkness
going to die
where the sun goes down
life is absence moving backwards
 
far away
from nowhere
there’s a time 
for taking
all that’s owed
is worth more than what’s been earned
never give
what cannot be returned
 
born alone
under darkness
going to die
where the sun goes down
life is absence moving backwards
 
I don’t know why
there’s no sign of who I 
am when I turn away 
to hide from the dark
although it won’t be long
till the ocean swallows me
as I sit and wait
for the night fall
counting the rings of a tree
till they ring
inside of me
in every cell that’s part of me
