Carbon

Carbon made
Found her at the end of a chain
"Time to race", she said,
"race the downhill."
Behind crystaline irises
Loons can dive
Where the world bleeds white
Just keep your eyes on her
Keep, don't look away
Keep your eyes on her horizon
Bear Claw, Free Fall
A Gunner's View
Black and blue
Shred in ribbons of lithium
Blow by blow
Her mind cut in sheets
Layers deep
Now unravelling
Just keep your eyes on her
Keep, don't look away
Keep your eyes on her horizon
Get me Neil on the line
No, I can't hold
Have him read
"Snow Glass Apples"
Where nothing is what it seems
"Little sis, you must crack this."
He says to me
"You must go in again.
Carbon made
only wants to be unmade."
Blade to ice
It's double diamond time
And keep your eyes on her
Keep, don't look away
Keep your eyes on her horizon
On her eyes
On her horizon
