If Everything Is All There Is

It's not a question,
It is the broken tooth of an answer,
It's not a cure,
It is the baited of a cancer,
It's a world like this,
That finds no flesh in the word,
Does a sky like this,
Deliver no wings to the bird.

Find the now in never,
Time won't wait forever,
Lay her unbred sex,
Before her engine wrecks.

Not the myth of truth,
A broken sword on solid earth,
Not the mess of god,
What all the strength in this pain is worth,
In a mind like this,
That finds meaning in nonsense and shoelace,
In a dream like this,
That dumps all its garbage in grace.

Find the now in never,
Time won't wait forever,
Lay her unbred sex,
Before her engine wrecks.

She put the salt to her tongue,
When the world was young,
Now in this clockwise-clockwork,
The glacial motion of this knee jerk,
Will bury the god of this making,
And crash the dream of this waking,
And leave us all wondering why,
She never put her lips to a sigh.

Part the rain from the river,
Bare a fruit you can give her,
Lay her unbred sex,
Before your engine wrecks.
