Inexorably the Sun of the Dead Rises


We think we know what comes next the orderly
Battalions of souls marching toward purgatory
And hell is still the oldest story we know by heart
Nostalgia sets in and see? There’s no before
Or after regardless of the movies we love so
This river has a name or not and it takes us
Somewhere we may know or we may not
Most of the time we know nothing and we
Know nothing twice as well as anyone else
The shore trees spell out words we speak
Surprisingly well new ideas embodied in these
Odd nothings these broke-jawed gnawings
Our voices name every tree and yet we know
Nothing twice as much as what comes next
