In the time of an exile
From the jails of another
Where soundings are taken
Raw to his eyes

I have walked the way for him
Down to splintering bone ashes
With your voice shining sea
In his fractures and skies

There are no voices here

There are only confessions
Keeping him hidden
Weighed out of his name

We have entered deserted
He has gazed from my windows
As if all that replaced us
Could still end in me

For the first time unwoken
I am returned
For the first time unwoken
I am returned

He arrives from a place
With a face of fast Sun
Arrives from a space
His refuge overrun

She will fold him away
In his
Badly changed hand

Fold him away far behind
Where I am

For the first time forgetting
I am returned
Her mind moved by the silence
I am returned
As if all that replaced us
Ends it again

As if all that replaced us
Ends
