Heat and Dark

For what it's worth,
There's nowhere else that I belong,
Dust and earth,
Feeling weak where I felt strong.
And all these days,
I spend my second foolishly,
For through my gaze
There's only so much I can see.

So here we are
Though I can barely tell at all,
In heat and dark
Lying low where I stood tall.

And still, I wait
For total pitch, or clarity.
Spinning straight
Through crushing heat and cool release.
And I'll be here
To watch the passing of the days,
Not calm, not clear,
Just time to settle in my ways.

So here we are
Though I can barely tell at all,
In heat and dark
Lying low where I stood tall.
