Penny Black - Further Seems Forever

Penny black and tarnished over

Watch the framing fold

In the cracks we mine for silver

When we’re flushed with gold

Turn the screw, the hand works five points

Fingers toward the sun

Taking two for every new coin

When all we’ve earned is one

Every step moves forward

Every step moves, every step moves

Places for cold mines

I trace my own lines

I wait in low lights

Until I find

Hints of the old place

Familiar cold ways

Distant and unrequited

You know the kind,

Lily white and pulled in pieces

Quiet does it good

And inside the noise increases

As you know it should

Every step moves forward

Every step moves, every step moves

Every step moves forward

Every step moves, every step moves

So precious, this kill screen

Our love is divided

So much is left unseen

When double sided

All code and no distinction

Nothing on the skin

All told in all depictions

Only left to live

The search is sanctified

We find it side by side

The search is sanctified

We find it side by side

The search is sanctified

We find it side by side
