Lyrics
tell me of the ways you move
and the way you've seen me
turning
from a straining body to
a string of lights / dark / swarms
unfurling
tell me that you have them, too
and if it's true
oh, say how far they spread and reach into
those steps you're taking
from where they are
somewhere, in there, between
the bones, the thoughts, the skin:
orbs aglow, all pressed up against....
i think myself entangled
in the whipping tails of
time and custom
you clothe yourself
with wreaths of them
how they become you, how they blossom!
but can you hear them whispering?
they speak of you,
about how far they'll thread themselves in through
those steps you're taking
from where they are
as every space between
the veins, the dreams, the skin
fills up with only them
we get caught in glass embraces
hidden in the mind
do you ache with antecedence
as our skeletons start to join?
this must be the age of looming
feel it wear away
the faltering hymn of our bodies breaking:
blessed, brittle hush
of shame
