Lyrics
CARESSES
man with mountain hands
veins, surging like rivers, in waves of flesh
I was born to entangle in your footprints
I am a sleeping girl floating in your palm
heat of your volcanic pulse
tiding my skin with your drowned touch
rising, until releasing my original tremor
that opens when the earth shakes
my body transformed in your hands
