Lycia Asleep In The River
sparks fly upward again
our dust in spires, spin
ashes and snow in my eyes
red embers paint blackened skies
my heart froze in the river
winter water black and dead
I hide snow in my heart
and orange velvet fires in my head
blue flames dance in the wood
I'd hold them on my tongue if I could
silence is gold, and I sink
in the vastness of you, I shrink
Cuyahoga
remember us in the ground
in thick brown earth we drown
dried, broken, split our skin
green blades grow, new again
Cuyahoga
I fell asleep in the dream
in icy arms in icy streams
my eyes are open, gather moss
in deep green heaven, we’re lost
