  • Instead of moving
    You stared into the wall
    Tangled up in a pile
    It's early
    Make no sound

    Living in a pile
    It's chaos but it works
    Planes flying overhead so early
    Dreadful sound

    Four cypresses seen from a neighbor's yard
    No memory, a future
    Drawing down

    Planes flying overhead so early
    Make no sound

    Four cypresses torn from the roadside
    Great thundering noise from the hillside
    Some thousands of years built it up
    Some crumbling form to be torn down

    Living in a pile
    Tangled in a pile
    It's chaos but it works Writer/s: Christopher Michael Taylor, Christopher Robert Bear, Daniel Raphael Rossen, Edward Droste
