Branch or Root?


Branch or root.
Which is stronger?

Earth or sky.
Which is harder?

Ocean or face.
Which is deeper?

Fullness or emptiness.
Which is greater?

The Lifeboat Song

What reaches out
Is groping through doubt
What settles in
Some choose to call sin

The barren grows hard
Where icebergs are charred
What’s wounded the eye
Is absence of sky

In a dingy at sea
Only salt’s free
Faces whistle a tune
As dry as a prune

Bones finger through hair
And empty the air
Since nobody knew
Which blessings were true
