Fallow Fields
Drag my hands
Across the ruined harvest
the field turned fallow
Bodies lay
Motionless beneath
the broken bough
Beyond the walls
The signal fires long ago
Burned to cinder
A wheel within a wheel
A stranger in this land
Holy eyes
Cast their scornful gaze down on me
The black dog knows my name
Never lets me sleep
Always waits for me
Beyond the walls
The signal fires long ago
Died to embers
A wheel within a wheel
A stranger in this land
Hidden hand
Let me be your arrow
Bend me
Toward the dawn
Set to deadly purpose
Shake me
From this dreamless sleep
Open the vein of light
Resplendent in its violence
Exquisite in its cruelty
Across the ruined harvest
the field turned fallow
Bodies lay
Motionless beneath
the broken bough
Beyond the walls
The signal fires long ago
Burned to cinder
A wheel within a wheel
A stranger in this land
Holy eyes
Cast their scornful gaze down on me
The black dog knows my name
Never lets me sleep
Always waits for me
Beyond the walls
The signal fires long ago
Died to embers
A wheel within a wheel
A stranger in this land
Hidden hand
Let me be your arrow
Bend me
Toward the dawn
Set to deadly purpose
Shake me
From this dreamless sleep
Open the vein of light
Resplendent in its violence
Exquisite in its cruelty
