In Absentia lyrics
by John Most
Horrible positives
A world wild lilting
Beings flung
Wet lingering
In the sand
Foundering starfish
Coarse reasons
Are turned tuned
Round and round
The looked for
Is never found
She becomes mad
A sea roaring
Ophelia electrifying
Leads Ahab
Reasons exist
The pair persist
As delusions
Disguised
Demise crazed everywhere
A wetness
Wet with ideas unendurable
Writing frantically
Their open minds
Cling to the impersonal sky
In time
