How is this stasis
Static
Associated with stability
And friction
Simultaneously
Forces fighting one another
Into a state of motionlessness
Creating energy
And stagnant at the same time
The sink drips
The dishes cold
The floor dusty
The bag unpacked
The coffee is the coffee
The cat is the cat
Some change.

The Long Nights Moon
Wakes before sunset
And stays up through the dawn
The Cold Moon
Though many are colder
The distance of my eyes
To the eternal
Reflecting the light
Back home in the dark

I'm returning to the words.
The absence may be accounted for
And counted out
In a language older than this.
Numbers like feathers, like sand,
Light on the 3 column pages,
Sift through the double lines.
A desert in my heart
Turning a man's labor,
His hours away from home,
Into bread and shingles.
The taxing business of living,
Of owning what cannot be taxed.

I would be stoic bully breed
An invasive rhizome with seed
Hoard up everything we need
Count the day's hours from east to west
Plow a row ahead when you lead
Be generous with all your greed
Bang your bars consider me freed
Count the day's hours from east to west
I swore an oath and lied my creed
The hounds of your hell have me treed
No award for unpunished deed
Count the day's hours from east to west
