give them your tears
her voice was full of fall
but her heart was all under winter
glory glory
hopeful glory
summer's gift
sung in splendor
death and dying
hidden crying
winter's rest
unliving and unmoving
his ears were clear and hungry
his eyes cool drowned in fog
beauty beauty
dawning beauty
something sleeping
awaiting to awaken
empty kindness
white eyed blindness
wandering lustless
lost and lonely
give them your tears
wet them, drench them
soak the soil with sobbing
til it slumps and slides
making mountainous catastrophe
their faces frightened terror twisted
arms entangled desperate grasping
help me, help me
hear me screaming
wailing whirling
circles slowly shrinking
hold me, hold me
moment holy
finally resting
kissing cheeks all salted
