[2007] Fiction

Dreamt up a new word today
With my ignorance I give it meaning – Who was I to know?
To say it is to know it
To hear it is to believe, is to believe 

I dreamt the world would end, I lost the lug
To doubt, to discredit
The other words I heard before
From your silence, you're pretending 

I saw you show your faith
and what you've always known
So lay your [bad word] in me, I think appal
It's not to justify your lesser faith 

It's all your faith has shown
what all you love and know
Why do you matter, correct significant?
I can yet justify your lesser faith 

To know it is to fear it
To fear it is to say no – is to say no 

To the blazing hearts of those, I know I failed
To break, to cast it down
You take your leave
Through the stuff that must be broken in two 

It's all your faith has shown
What all you love and know
Why do you matter, correct significant?
I can yet justify your lesser faith
