Kit Kelen #373 - the vanishing

373

we are the vanishing

when you sleep we're gone

when you're away, we're here

you're afraid

and you forget to be

you sleep in a bed

we simply wilt

we are to air

all other worlds are with us

we are the vanishing

gone simply to

we're there

as somewhere else was once

how is it we have begun elsewhere?

how is it we are from? come? gone?

fears are past us

we are the waiting

we are the crossing of the sea

we are the island itself

the exile

is it us?

no, the world is vanishing

already turned

but touched

we were there

we come

as if by blizzard

it's a time from my youth

a cradle song

it's a tune rehearses the heart

this is how we have felt

how to go on

none of this amounts to idea

it's all more precious than having been thought

but how else here?

what we sing is really about ...

you tell me

I wait for just a word from you

I know you know

you watch

but what can you say?

only the truth knows us now

only the truth could ever tell

we have to be the vanishing

no other way to have meant
