These lips form unfamiliar words
unfamiliar prayers
beckoning a spiritual fire
to make anew the crusted thing living in my heart
I've become unfaithful
(more)
to my faithlessness
remembering the god head
the communion
the impossible machinations of infinity
churning onward through the light
I've followed the chemicals
injected into my bloodstream
with each step forward I left fragments
layers of my humanity sloughed silently away
waiting on the side of the trail
markers for the return
A million years I've traveled through the heavens
fifteen minutes by your watches hands
and in that space of existence
the truth began to dawn
Seraphim and Devils stalk the inner landscape
searching for those same answers
finding they are just beyond reach
another step must be taken
another layer left behind
They used to be us
one day we shall be them
and that is how it goes
never quite grasping the picture
painted delicate as the atom
(less)
