LAZURAS RISE YOUR TIME HAS COME

running
away from apparitions

who holds you

now
no
knot
night knows

who
irreplaceable & implacable

who
who went with ghosts

who turned
garden upside down

who
wept with weeds

who
forgotten

waters
will never come
back

who
went back
for furnace
& flame

destruction
's deeper dance

tremble
trembling

please place pebbles
around

become being
boulder broken
by chains

do not dance

speak to scorpions
sing long song
sing
only of blood
sing
only to bones

ô
hear that horse
howl

unbearable clamour

crawl from fence
to fence

lazurus

lazarus
holding on

holding heaven up
with this hand
this beautiful hand

commotion
caresses without care

hurl
heave

hold on

cast into circle
circle of circle
catapulted

without care

ô clouds come

clouds come
horizon hell

tongue of shadow
taunts
does not hear
horse howling

who
keeps watch

who keeps vigil

vermin
cruelest birds call

some song
souvenance of slaves

hear it
now
