Here is your task (the fourth sign) Go and tell them (the third outcome) We arrive in step (the second line) Guide no one (their first names) In this place I can hear echoes In the corners faces I loved Years before how did we live? In this place I can hear echoes In these books They wrote their words I no longer read On these tapes They said their lies I no longer listen On these walls They painted the truth I no longer see In this place I still hear echoes

The Author 14:18
The long hand The old way The inkwell The ocean I split the wood and found nothing So spilled my black seed in its fibers Surely I exercise powers of creation I tear at it Continue what I want with it And so when I find these troubles I can destroy what I made But, endlessly weak, I cannot Inveterate? Invertebrate? Which is it?
