Outside Carl's fog

Outside Carl's fog
And on the inside I fell
How came I to the second
Definition of held

I held you down not closely
Millions praying to St. Jude
Countless, worthless prayers
There's nothing they can do

My memory of you

My memory of you
This is what I know
How is it I held you
More so, let you go

Carl Sandberg's fog
On the ground lay flat
Your name forever called
My memory is that

They knocked your lights out

They knocked your lights out
While I was holding you down
The second definition of held
My arms did not wrap you around

Now I know

Now I know
What I'm about
I've etched my mark
Into the Shout

The structure that
I have built
Is evidence
The world is tilt

Love is not an infinite

 Love is not an infinite
One plus one is two
Reality, the definite
When my eyes see you

Friend, respond to my voice

Friend, respond to my voice
I sing and you are here
Angry when I leave you
Though I am always near

And in the heart, the love
Without language, without thought
That travels on air
Replenishing without draught

I know my life will alter

I know my life will alter
I can wed myself to me
And the changes like the waves
Will be folding on the sea
