Revolutions from Reincarnations by Jacob Earl
how many stars are in the sky?
…do they go back as far as the eye can see?
your eyes were filled with tears when i saw you again. your tears were the oceans of overwhelming grief and gratitude. we had found each other again.
i didn’t know.
i know.
i didn’t think we would ever be together again.
i know.
i love you.
i know.
and that is how the revolution came to pass… quietly, without fanfare, without so much bloodshed. the sacrifices we made were not so physical, though we still hold the wound in our hearts.

Lyrics
fold the pages
you turned over a new leaf
an origami montage
of forty generations of grief
and the pain subsides
when you put your heart on the line again
a rollercoaster ride
translated through sign language
at the root
of the centrifuge with spokes branched out
to all your recruits
is the epicentre, pumping your heart out
with rage and love
and a blackened art
it’s a revolution…
lay the bricks you cast right from the start…
you built a wall around your feelings
a stone blockade
of forty storeys of concrete ceilings
filled with razor blades
and the rain abides
when you open the window to let the light in again
the birds cry
how you wish you could hear them sing again…
