The Clearmountain Pause

It clouds up
Like blood in the dust
Clotted as the night's promise

Most days, I forget
These stolen moments
Under a waning sun
Lying in wait

They float up like
Bones from the sea
Old molds
Dying in a reverie

Sometimes in the clear light
I become untied
The earth dives into the sun's fire
The horizon folds

Torn and
Jutting out
I'll rise up
Like the earth's crust

Most days, I forget
The cause of my regrets
Under the waning sun
Lying in wait

Sometimes in the clear light
I become untied
The earth dives into the sun's fire
The horizon folds
