untitled intro - big thief lyrics

[avant-garde effects]

sitting on steps, the topmost
there’s a pasture before me
where the brief shadows of small trees are plain to see at 2 a.m
where the moon lights the back of a head
bowed in respect of all that is
i’m not sure i want to talk anymore
maybe there is something i could say a poet would feel
maybe there’s no need
a true poet already sits beside me
head bowed to the moonlight
i am at once alone and inside everything
even in the den of the world there is silence that sings of reverence
there is a sp-ce that cannot be described
in that sp-ce words are noise:
substantiated evidence of distraction, a step behind now
an understandable preoccupation of the mind’s attempt at solving a mystery
so i am not sure if i want to talk anymore
some days my heart is heavier than i knew i could bear
some days it floats beyond gravity’s reach
and words are heavy
to use them lets loose an anchor that only proves the science of causality
i know these things
though the knowing mostly serves as a reminder of an absence
maybe only momentary, or
until the moon shines once more on a poet’s bowed head
so i am not sure i want (much) to talk
there is no sayable clarity
no translation in large print
there is only this moment
and i live inside it alone
but look upon the world with eyes that say what can’t be said
