The day will happenwhether or not you get up
Most Like an Arch This MarriageMost like an arch__n entrance which upholds and shores the stone-crush up the air like lace. Mass made idea, and idea held in place. A lock in time. Inside half-heaven unfolds.Most like an arch__wo weaknesses that lean into a strength. Two fallings become firm. Two joined abeyances become a term naming the fact that teaches fact to mean.Not quite that? Not much less. World as it is, what__ strong and separate falters. All I do at piling stone on stone apart from you is roofless around nothing. Till we kissI am no more than upright and unset. It is by falling in and in we makethe all-bearing point, for one another__ sake, in faultless failing, raised by our own weight.
He had his choice, and he liked the worst.
I have one head that wants to be good,And one that wants to be bad.And always, as soon as I get up,One of my heads is sad.
