Glossolalia

from Descent by Joel Cathcart

about

voice, cavaquinho, hang, piano

lyrics

drag net of continents
does not fray
hallucinates
held in place

a myriad fated colours glisten in the faraway sea

charred edge of memory
will not seal
hope escapes
out of date

a bristling cloud of thoughts that burst in disarray

top heavy exodus
cannot keep
empty lands
wait for us

the reckless sapling so all of
reached the roof
incomplete our advancements
checked its growth

our vivid focus turned back as
dissipates
hungry rout tidal fragments
leaves no trace

no distant prophesy
spelt the end
signposts born
much too late
