It was always
naturemusicpoliticstimelovemortality
It was always
Peter and Kora
Or
Kora and Peter
It still is...
What keeps you
Holds your heart
Within its grasp
Exerting you on
Driving forward
The hammerhead
Hitting the nail
Squarely down
Into the hardwood
Holding up the roof
Keeping the whole
Edifice from collapsing
What keeps you
Towing the line
Following rules
Fulfilling expectations
What is the driver
Of your conscience
In the silence
Of your room
What stops you
From pretending
You don’t care
Keeps you from
Giving it all away
Whispering a prayer
What keeps you.
