lyrics

I. -4

forgotten creatures travel through night
like spirits to mourning rain,
the emptied vessels devouring plants
in haste before they fade.

watch as they collect themselves
and fly under fruitful waves,
picking up enough of green apples
to make tears turn to jade.

they spill the juice throughout the lands
‘til pigeons run to caves,
making sure the unforgotten
can listen to the weighed.

poisoned greens reside in stone
and wilt upon a gaze,
the vengeance gathered from the creatures
burning through their veins.

the venom flows to floating rivers
and reduces beings to name,
leaving behind nothing much
but wildflower plains.

do not forget the unforgotten
or summon them to bay,
for if we forget and repeat history
there’ll be no moon left to wane.

-Sabrina Lu
