Clemency

I had forgotten the grace of the desert
How it's unforgiving terrain reaches
Arms up to anchor the sky
Holding it firmly in its grasp

I had forgotten about you, and us,
And your unrepentant hands
Letting go of mine, and me,
And everything we once were

Scatter

How to spread myself
Amidst the landscape
Lying coast to coast
Within the earth

I want to be in every place at once

I want to live in so many people it hurts
