Locus Letra

Now, again, before

Pushed above colliding giants
Into air that roared
Forgotten fragments scarred my face
Sculpted, frozen, thawed

Towering, yet anchored
Holder of their breath
Locus, shadow, turning point
Backdrop to their death

The sweep of days that moulded me
Immense among the mists
Crafted also people who
Would struggle, grasp, resist

One such life unfolded here
She wept beneath the moon
Exiled from her former life
Hiding, waiting, soon

I saw around her all things change
Each a past component
And I, too, was nothing that
Endured beyond the moment

I watched her live among her thoughts
Consumed as each occurred
And as she drowned in memories
The past survived within her

Vicious fears and vicious frosts
Had followed her, it seemed
Through every moment of her life
Though sometimes my slopes gleamed

Dread dispersed and passed away
A process was undone
New coherence followed soon
But, in that, I found no one

Crumbling rocks near her old grave
I break and fall in time
And, as each piece is blown away
Which part of me am I?
