To Feel How This Feels

How finer the days go

How purple the numbness of these things get

I'm running up on fire

I'm water to all things that used to burn

Old body goes back, lips turn to blue

Spitting out secrets in the mail room

You'll only know dear, you'll only see that

Blindness that covered belief

Hold there

Let me see into you

Old dazzled boots

A throwaway storm

This wind through your teeth to keep you warm

Now I find a yearning

So small like a seed

Spread life through the dead of a killing spree

And beauty's the word dear

To find in your keep

My homeness settled you to sleep

You'll only know dear

You'll only see that

Blindness that covered belief
