“Remove thy shift.”
Command of blackened promise
Earth bleeds under foot
A compass forged in flesh
The scent of pine beckons
I become all fear held in life
And rise beyond being
Dirt under nail
Hair snared in teeth
Jaw agape, eyes wide
Someone once told me why street lights are yellow
It was so simple but I can't remember why
Grip the handle and focus
Command of blackened promise
Earth bleeds under foot
A compass forged in flesh
The scent of pine beckons
I become all fear held in life
And rise beyond being
Dirt under nail
Hair snared in teeth
Jaw agape, eyes wide
Someone once told me why street lights are yellow
It was so simple but I can't remember why
Grip the handle and focus
