They Will Dismantle The Sun

they will dismantle the sun
I said to myself in a dream
of Kingdom come

this was underwater

when we were younger
we practiced holding our breath
but now is a distant summer

and thunderheads gather
over the river of our eclipse
and I hear the ghost lips murmuring murmuring

the wreckers have come to dismantle the heart
and all Art suffers from it=
now.
