And though our bones, they may break
And our souls separate,
why the long face?
And though our bodies recoil
From the grip of the soil,
why the long face?
Ys (2006)
Now her coat drags through the water,
Bagging, with a life's-worth of hunger, limitless minnows
In the magnetic embrace,
Balletic and glacial, of Bear's insatiable shadow.
Ys (2006)
Picking through your pocket lining, well what is this?
Scrap of sassafras, eh Sisyphus?
