No One
No one to saw the faith away
Dismantling those bones
No one becoming like the day
The desert sand of home
Old Pain
Absence leaves a hole
A strange, cold, terrible domain
Although it haunts the soul
Old pain protects against new pain
Wild was my intent
The greatest war you could ignore
Old pain is heaven-sent
To land upon this earthly shore
My poor heart is terrified
That’s the gift old pain provides
Every cautious word is inscribed
In cuts along the walls inside
