the great exhale

look at the names carved into the rocks. look at the dates when they were lit up. brushing my hand and i feel their age. years of radiance

years of rain. and the world stops spinning

when you stop spinning. sighs when you sigh when you sigh. i'm coming home

so leave the light on for me. i'm drawing over the luminous veil. when i get in

i will see you all there. i'm drawing on the great exhale. uncertain ground

so i walk lightly

translating names of lost families. somebody's sleeping that you should not wake. drifting whispers over damp clay. and the world stops spinning

when you stop spinning. sighs when you sigh when you sigh. i'm coming home

so leave the light on for me. i'm drawing over the luminous veil. when i get in

i will see you all there. i'm drawing on the great exhale. wide open spaces

been asleep a long time

punctuating places

coming out like old teeth. i'm coming home

so leave the light on for me. i'm drawing over the luminous veil. when i get in

i will see you all there. i'm drawing on the great exhale. i'm soaring in on the great exhale.
