Surrender - Division Day

It’ll burn till it’s no longer yours

It’ll dance till it slips in the sweat

It’ll bend till the snap of the spine

It’ll burn till it’s no longer yours

The hands were knotted, large, swollen, fingerless

The head, the face, the neck, aglow like cooling magma

It’ll weep till it stings from the salt

It’ll run till the feet wear away

It’ll pour till the vessel is spent

It’ll burn till it’s no longer yours

And now the words are gone, you move through shattered moments

You turn the lock to left, you picture what’s beyond it

The door bestows a breath, the last inch of surrender
