everlasting sigh
sumney, moses
sighing on the embers of a fire
that must be allowed to die
but your body heat brings life
crying in a river running dry
made your eyes a clouded sky
let your whispered word be divine
if vultures can be soul birds
leaning on the everlasting sigh
from the ink that clots your pen
running on a sentence that must end
so your bones can rise again
if vultures can be soul birds
leaning on the everlasting sigh
