Staving Off Truth

Grasping at the edge
Somewhere on the other side
Tending the sleeping ground
Clutching to the knife

Slipping out of day
Machinery drowning out
Fortress inner world
Staving off the doubt

Wrestling memories
Hold the past in broken arms
Shards cut to the quick
Before the cruciform

Morning star is the dawn
Cast the shadow of the cross
Groping in the dark
For answers to the loss

Are we waiting just to leave?
Is there an answer which eludes?
We stand upon a floating world
Simply staving off the truth
