After the Ceremony

Empty road, empty face
Read the grooves of my touch
He said, We pass over days
Our voices saying too much

I said, I have to go
Hang my coat by the door
I felt the knob in my hand
But guilt kept me for more

He said, Love is all around
But you've made yourself blind
See the sky, see the ground
Not the mirrors they sit behind

So I've read before
In sweet Spanish verse
And the sweeter the words
The deeper the curse

He finally said
After thinking long
You are not dead
So lift up the song
Of everything that sounds
Everything you are
Don't heed the dark

Now I mold melodies
'Neath the nightingale's call
Reflections in the dark
Don't look like much at all
