Bukharian - Black Ox Orkestar

lest all memory fade like neglected tapestries
the heart consumes resilience like an evergreen
and rises forthwith against the rising tide

casting lots meant to capture unforseen outcomes
the water running forward with belligerent indifference
with intent to whitewash your best perceptions

silence your loquacious concern in favor of survival clarity
stretch your neck as though the trunk of the oldest conifer
breath deep while washed over by the force of the unexpected
