lyrics

forever trespass
(read down)

like someone
could own this

sure
it changes
with each step
I walk in
not so
you would
notice
not all
at once
this land
possesses us

the sun
cracked creek
it eats my eyes
underneath
the marbled light
fish trespass
the turbid stream
swollen
from my melting
 
words run the poet
wind me up
like a toy boat

this is why
I am possessed
these hungry words
the roiling red juice
pours from my bones
and I drink
of myself
my breath becomes light
my living
yes
the bright air
owns this body
as it
rides the blood
 

forever trespass
(read across)

like someone
the sun
this is why I
could own this
cracked creek
am possessed

it eats my eyes
these hungry words
sure
underneath
the roiling red juice
it changes
the marbled light
pours from my bones
with each step
fish trespass
and I drink
I walk in
the turbid stream
of myself
not so
swollen
my breath becomes light
you would
from my melting
my living
notice

yes
not all
words run
the bright air
at once
the poet
owns this body
this land
wind me up
as it
possesses us
like a toy boat
rides the blood
