Poem written and performed to music live by Aaron F. Runyon.
Sharpened teeth and blackened hair
an offering to that which is not there
that stab the sky and cut the air
I see a crown of vines to wear
The horror tunnel-the forever cave
holding a rapture which you cannot save
Did I fall in love while watching you sleep
or whispering secrets that no one can keep
or with your crying when you wake up
when you spilled the tears into your cup
and sipped them smiling hoping your skill
is dream defiling and strength of will
I carved a figure into the wall
of a face in space to make sense of it all
but it didnt- it wouldn't-it couldnt decieve
an animal whose brilliance was still to believe
that the spell is a casting of incantation
and remember the poorest of all translation
saying it with me now together with trust
that we make a better forever version of us.
-Incantation
