Release found in speech unrestrained
By judgements passed in blind acceptance
Of ancient script and rhyme
Fined by numbers unrestricted
By words unfit for consumption
The height of presumption
And arrogance defined.
Weather the weather
And whether you’d like it or not
Remember November
And betray not the mortal thoughts
That pose in recompense of time
Frozen in stone coffins
Shaped like the dead we’ve left behind
Nailed shut
With the gag orders of sewn lips
And manacled fingers
Bled past color
To fill the ink pots of reconstruction
Of lines drifting and dividing
Nations and notions
Mountains and oceans
Apart.
