killincs - daily toll lyrics

i have felt that i was born in a cold frame
a protective box for plant lungs
latched shut
watching life from a small sheet of glass fashioned into a roof
the light reflects an upside*down image of a life i might never visit
too far to touch but not far enough to forget
the hungarian word for latch is k!llincs
like a heavy chain touching concrete
k!llincs * spoken* k!ll *inch
like the inch it takes for a latch to cut you off from everything else

i am walking down that street
where the giant figs line each side
holding hands into an archway of the divine
my phone does not alarm me
of еvery absence that has been thrust upon mе
instead, trees whisper to me
they stroke the top of my head as i pass
their leaves mark the footpath with mosaic poems
of mottled light against cracked pavement
for my eyes only

and the cloak i don
threaded by early abandon
does not render me invisible
or make my presence unbearable
and the home we made
in each other’s loneliness
where we saw only reflections
in broken mirrors
stays standing on a hill
a relic or kin
overlooking a shipyard of neglected sailboats with names like ‘serenity’
i have the keys still
but i’ve buried the path
