Defiance

from Shallows by Joy

	/

lyrics

When you’re drawn taut
Against the notion
And it’s shape is
The shape of short, cold days

When you are not
So widely open
And each movement is odd
And out of phase

Borderless and bottomless
No end, no edge to show

It’s an order
It’s an anchor
A frame for each new fiction
A language for the word
That means the thing I’ll feel
When I find the word

When I find the word that
Means what we mean now
