i’ll brush aside the dim, make room for the bright.

is now a memory reduced to little words.
i’ll tune the orchestra and play the overture,
until i pinpoint every note.

that i may dig until i prove that i exist.
a subterranean cathedral in my midst,
where echos come to rest.

is this where echos come to rest?
