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
