Tired Eyes

from Fugue by Saginaw

/

lyrics

tired eyes had ossified
painted on appetites abound
shuddered and shaken awake
water runs up hills and peels away

pulling down eyelids – stagnate
pooling tears ripe with dust
shuddered, the avalanche call
water runs up hills and shields dissolve

in a fog
in a fugue-like state
waiting to awake

cataract film and suffocating sheath
cast a shadow in low-relief
cataract film and suffocating sheath
tear it off, throw it away

away
iridescent like a beetle’s shell
away
opaque as a mirror
away
lit up in the shining sun
away
two marbled arcs on the ground

seeds in hand, held tight against the breeze
the cast-off burden blooms
after the thaw you'll find them
burying magnetized carapace husk
resting among the rocks and the trees

come morning, the dew runs them down
decaying but evergreen
