David De La Hoz

I can see the words inside your silence, but I can't speak about your pain for you
how long can you burn for anyways turning over and back again with tongues ablaze.

like lions without teeth...hungry...staring at the forest with flames in our eyes
talking with the trees

if we can drift long enough, we'll be home. sails blown by the fire within pushing me to you
and you can live inside of me, sewn together
breaking and healing, growing and breaking again and again

you are a part of me, you are my home and I'm your home,
but I'm no place you'll want to be
so I'm out here again sparks hid behind my teeth

but I won't say a word for fear of failure spreading
it takes some of us longer to get to our dead ends
we have old blood stained with loose living
ran through charcoal hearts to make it red

and we can be on fire again you and I
do you want this? well say what you want....SAY WHAT YOU MEAN!

we can talk lung to closed ear, and head inside of hand
turning over again together
cut up for the cheap heat running through our veins

and we can lay brick by broken brick
our ashes pushed in between
and build this road back home to where we want to be
we are not our own, we are the same.
