Never (K) Now-Forgotten Sunrise

Driving along I notice some pockets of air in the air I pause to listen for the bangs that are not quite there Along the stem of heaven I flow upwards, never down We bring more misery to the roots of the heaven's crown With my feet I stomp the clouds nearer to the earth So you could learn what licorice and pitch are really Worth The stingy taste of mustard in my mouth is honey-sweet But on my sacred tongue these two must never meet The guardian angel behind the shield of clouds Won't hear the death-fear's banging for the banging isn't Loud It only takes half an effort to break both sides The other half I'll spend on making left and right Collide I'm aming at an apple with a fireproof arrow of fire And never lie about it if it is your heart's desire
