lyrics

to think the earth will outlive us
on the hill where the sky opened,
and we saw the infinite constellated darkness
between us, futures never lived like a dream so big
it couldn’t contain itself. it was only a small dream of mine
while i am a small dream of the world.
though the structures here have been taken out,
there remain generators graffitied.
to think not long ago we stood on the porch
and watched strangers shiver.
to lie on that hill-
to see that purple distance, the horizon formed from a gradient
of forest and the mountain is made
of what is more blue.
this earth here has been too many things.
my limitation is that
i only see its immensity when i look back to see your face
looking up at the sky. though i could be that sky.
i could be the black.
a greenhouse has been newly erected
at this site out of poles and white shadows- a lattice, a tarp,
a webbed column for the mind to walk around.
inside, to grow vegetables. to cultivate nothing as could be felt by you or me.
some other thing will be made in the ruin of a thought
or the aftermath of the greatest feeling i’ve known
which is so small, small
enough to contain everything.
