Lyrics

Stationary beside the water she sits. Gray-green reflects her snowy face, tongue bobbing in the heat. Wary eyes that I watch, memorize, I wander, then she’s gone. Oh everything is avoidable!

What hungers you? What sustains you? How do we begin to accept both presence and absence?

In a house that welcomes other air, I stand in the hallway that suddenly intensifies with a rush of cold. Flickering lights like shadows over the sun, like electricity smothered, I feel her! More than pressure, it’s an injection soft and gently prying into skin as my nerves twinkle. Oh deflating this armor!

Do I hunger you? What all sustains you? How do we begin to accept both presence and absence?

She’s alive, growing like a fungus in the earthen ground! Dissipating in the air, intangible yet spores sticking in my hair.

What hungers you? What sustains you? Will you show us how to accept both presence and absence? What hungers you? What sustains you?
Will you show us how to accept both presence and absence?
