though you should raise
taken over the brakes to the iron
here is my kingdom laid out
these are the light bands set into your eye
many thousands of years in each
this is my kiss
made over the ocean
this is my kingdom
tiny and wide
clasping your hand
this is the tool
green byway
made for you
if you should rise a spirit
if you should raise an army
if you should stay
or come
if you should know how I came too
like you
dead on waking
into the world
unable to see why it should have been abandoned
these are my arms
written into the earth
