the fossil record
<<44>>
Hungry and broke
on the ass-end of history
the western wind has long since
stopped blowing
and the south wind is late coming
nobody
(everybody)
knows it's a fallen age
the ringing feeling that something
that happened
is still happening
feels the hint of empire
of the past
but like grass
that unwanted
grows in a valley of death
life somehow seeps through
where the heavy shadows
overcast
to start a new evolution
grown in what you
gave
(nothing)
and creeps up
ignored
unstoppable
