lyrics

at last i was released from the pillory of my own construction.

i touched feather down,
felt it all around me.
i know safety now
i feel it well inside me.

i took steady relief in the vertebrae of a dizzy giant.

it spoke quiet words,
made of them a tonic.
i sipped lingual milk,
languid and hypnotic.

the wound shrank and obscured like the silhouette of a distant harbor.

can i hold it still,
swaddle it in linens?
will the flesh endure,
stable and resilient?

i won't forget,
but i won't really remember either.
it's gone on like this since
the egg cracked open!
a domino fell, and now everyone's got trauma.
oh, well! you can't put humpty
dumpty back together.
you either forgive and roll on
or end up miserable forever like a
little bitch-bastard!
i love you so much.

i have always had it all,
the knowledge that i needed,
the truth that so eluded me,
the echoes of an inner conflict—
inner as in outer—
i mean the stomach of a glowing sphere...

the answers to my questions
the ones i hadn't asked yet
not "how can i become redeemed?"
not "how can i be mended?"
but rather "how am i already
just as is intended?"

i found it in our spirit.
if only i could keep it
at the front of my mind,
but for now i guess the back will do,
and i can leave some markers
runes and cryptic icons
to lead me back to essence.
forgiveness,
that's one that i believe i can hold onto.
