Exiting the silence
Breaking open the Great Gate of Noise
Lingering in sinful atonement
Amidst clamorings of righteousness
Calls for justice and education
Meanwhile, across the water,
issuing instructions by loudspeaker
But stopping at our street
Let them sleep, let them sleep
Will this separate status?
Cost us our safety?
Ocean roars
Closer than close
Arrived on the wind
And I, exhausted, insomniac
Get ready to melt
Thundering surf, half moon light
A fragment of foam
As cities burn
An archeological layer in a story of sadness
