solstice '11 (near 04 july) - the year burning (song with refrains)

old friend,
perhaps our minds
from long knowing
have the same grooves

i'm sure it happens
even as the year curls in on itself,
a leaf of sage
burning
blackening into curled
vapors and wisps
into substantless clarity

even just so, the nooks of my
mind curl into transparency,
as do yours

ashes ashes we all fall down
ashes ashes we all fall down

near solstice,
they light nightbombs
to remember the sun which is already
fading in the start of the wane of the year

ashes ashes we all fall down
ashes ashes we all fall down

why do they light the nightbombs
i don't need reminders
of how we fought and slaught
ered to clear this space and claim it

it's never been ours, and stealing
from other thieves doesn't

make it home

ashes ashes we all fall down
ashes ashes we all fall down

just as the curled cats of our luminous
clarifying brain grooves
saging into wisps and air
as the year does
seems to leave us empty -
doesn't make it home

just because
we say it does
doesn't make it home

ashes ashes we all fall down
ashes ashes we all fall down
ashes ashes we all fall down


(melody snippet)
