My Dead Language

Listen to the possibility

Listen to the possibility

Of what they day could whisper

Save the dawn

Which is melancholy in its own madness

It takes every ounce of selflessness from you

Time has come up short once again

And I have nothing to offer

There is so much to pass by

You move so quickly,

Your feet disappear from under you

It means nothing more anyway

What you sow is what you reap

Isolated from that soul that never soundly sleeps.

-Jennifer Barajas
