world in denial

 

and on we go

as if there were no storms

fires, seas to rise

the suffering under thumb

 

as if everyone had a home here

and nothing could chase us away

 

we wake and set to all to do

as if the day were honest, long

 

frequently climbing

by ladders let down

 

blithe

here in the midst and with

 

up in a tree

down in a hole

 

we’re here now

the gone are gone

 

no excuses

no one is an example of anything

 

everyone has escaped from the past

and that’s exactly where we’re cast

 

look into a mirror

 

and the mirror is gone

you’re still there

 

that’s just how we are alive

that’s where we are shone
