Sing Broken Beyond Mankind
Sing Broken Beyond Mankind
because I speak
IN
T oppressors tongue
H language of
E conqueror
MY IMAGINATION
excludes
my distress
furnishes
NO
means
to bring charges
NO WORD
for my complaint
NOT EVEN
a prayer
THEREFORE
I forge
a weapon
from
s i l e n c e
CAPTURE
the

rake
to
prosecute
every
choral
to plumb by no measure
the Tide·Raw Prayer·Witness
of a sinking ·g·O·d·

who came before and
those

because I speak
IN
T phones of
H massacre I bury
E tones of
dead
a voice
compels
no air
a heart
contrives
no future
a history
walks
without eyes
my complaint is
the moon
mist rising
Rise
bright
you sea dusty
dragons
your hero

Rise

you hopeful wild

renounce the strains
of all that cant
be spoken
say right the broken
hearts that they may heal
as breath bares light
and dream our understanding
we charge the spring
to sing beyond mankind
'though the dead G®D rein
The Destroyer of The World
WE THE PEOPLE
of earth are
THE EARTH
and
we are the earth singing
and
we are the song
the master song singing
and
the song of the dead
Sing brightly
the song of the damned
Heal the river
beyond mankind
