The Year is Full of Loss (2020)

Night closes like blinds.
I sleep through a fire alarm.
The world is hemorrhaging lives.
You and I are unharmed.

I sleep through a fire alarm.
As if there were a moat around us,
You and I are unharmed.
The year is full of loss.

As if there were a moat around us,
Together we hide.
The year is full of loss.
The battered moon cries.

Together we hide.
Night closes like blinds.
The battered moon cries.
The world is hemorrhaging lives.
