---we're fading now

the fall leaves are tumbling out of their weathered, sagging boughs
their attempts at liberation to leave their crumpled bodies littering the ground
to crackle and crunch under bicycle wheels and automobile killers

---we're fading now

the fruit branches are filled with late autumn fruit
shrieking and sighing as it rushes to the ground,
           to rot and become one with the earth, once again
once again


we used to say we were killing time, but now time is killing us


volarémos, por el cielo y por la tierra
juntos, si quisieras bailar conmigo
no será importante si murieramos, porque
ahora es el tiempo para calar
solo me da una besa
me cayes bien


---we're fading now

it's time to go to sleep
lie with me, in the soft, dark earth
under the blanket of terra and tears

some talk of a circle of life
we say it's just two parallel lines


we dive into the earth, and fly into the sky
