its gone

today i woke up and it was another day

the snow was blinding white

and i was glad to feel the sun, glad

to wake up and glad to have landed

i tighten my grip upon my sword and roll

to greet the stretch of time until i return

 

it does not come for me any longer,

no tengo dolor, no tengo miedo

even the words of poetry in the bookstore

Es tan corto al amor, y es tan largo el olvido

do not touch me anymore

it is gone, the water is gone, i cut it out

and turned my head and woke up

 

no longer do the leaves even stir

in those lost hallways

i wield a will which mutes all sound

except for the blaring sun pouring through my windows

i am dead to all of it

and ready to fight for life
