Single Sound
Kelly Zutrau
Lay me down
Into the light we found
Let it go all the way
Into the darkest place
But in the flesh, we’re bound
No longer young and proud
Let our own two hands
Hold the emptiness
All of the world comes down
Into a single sound
All of the beautiful
And the powerful
Let us go forward now
Into the open mouth
Take our one last breath
Into the emptiness
Lay me
