as the lukewarm hands of the godscame down and gently picked my adrenalin pearls
placed them in their mouthsand rinsed all the fear out
nourished them with their saliva
now im all rejuvenated and restednow im all rejuvenated and rested
as if the healthiest pastimeis being in life-threatening circumstances
and once again be reborn
all birthed and happyall birthed and happyall birthed and happyall birthed and happy
best way to start-a-newis to fail miserably
fail at lovingand fail at giving
fail at creating a flowthen realign the whole
and kick into the starthole
and kick into the startholeand kick into the starthole
to risk all is the end all and the beginning allto risk all is the end all and the beginning all

stirring at waters edgecold froth on my twig
my mind in whirlswanders around desire
may i, can ior have i too often
craving miraclesmay i, can i
or have i too often nowcraving miracles
no one imagines
the lightshock i needand ill never knowfrom whose hands deeply humble
dangerous giftsas such to mine come
may i, should ior have i too often
craving miraclesmay i, can i
or have i too oftencraving miracles
my romantic gene is dominantand it hungers for union
universal intimacy
all embracing
may i, should ior have i too oftencraved miraclesmay i, can ior have i too oftencraved miraclescrave
waves irregularly strikingwind stern in my facethunderstorm comescrape these barnacles off me!
may i, may ior should i too oftencrave miraclesmay i or should ior have i too often
all my body parts are oneas lightning hits my spinesparklingprime runs through merevive my wishinviolable
may i, can i,or have i too oftencraving miracles

heaven, heavens bodieswhirl around me
make me wonder
and they say:
back then our universe
was an empty seauntil a silver fox
and her cunning mate
began to singa song that became
the world we know
heaven
heavens bodies
whirl around memake me wonder
and they say:back then our universe
was a coal-black egg
until the god insideburst out and from
its shattered shellhe made what becamethe world we know
heaven, heavens bodies
whirl around memake me wonder
and they say:back then our universe
was an endless land
until our ancestorswoke up and before
they went back to sleep
they carved it up intothe world we know
heaven, heavens bodieswhirl around me
make me wonder
and they say:
back then our universe
wasnt even thereuntil a sudden bang
there was light
was soundwas matter
and it all became
the world we know
heaven, heavens bodieswhirl around mea dance eternal

hollowim falling down the abyss
hollowlooking for some answers
generationsof mothers sailing in
somehow they all were shipfolks
hollowthe ground is opening up

why cant you give her room?respect her spatial needsi feel you compress her
into a small space
with clairvoyanceshe knew what you neededand she gave it to you
now her desires are repressedarrows in the flesh
when she found your loveher nature bowed her head
she surrenderedshe renounced the world for younow shes poisoned by demands
you cannot answer
why this sacrifice?now she regrets the whole thing
a delayed reactionwhen she left her craft
voluntarilyfor your nest for your love
did you understand?
appreciate
build a bridge to herinitiate a touchbefore its too latesay the words to herthat will make her shine
tell her that you love her
your generosity will showin the volume of her glow

i shuffle aroundthe tectonic plates in my chest
you know i gave it all
trying to match our continentsto change seasonal shift
to form a mutual core
as fast as your fingernail grows
the atlantic ridge drifts
to counteract distanceyou know i gave it all
can you hear the effortof the magnetic strife?
shuffling of columns
to form a mutual core
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didnt know i had it in me
withheld your lovean unspent capsule
i didnt know you had it in you
you hid the key to our continuityi didnt know you had it in you
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didnt know
you didnt know
what you resist persists
nuance makes heat
to counteract distancei know you gave it all
offered me harmonyif things were done your waymy eurasian plate subsumed
forming a mutual core
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didnt know i had it in me
withheld our lovean unspent capsule
i didnt know you had it in you
this eruption undoes stagnationyou didnt know i had it in me
this eruption undoes stagnation
you didnt know
you didnt know

when your eyespause on the ball
that hangs on the third branch from the staryou remember why it got dark and why it is
getting light again
the earth (like the heart) slopes in its seatand like that it travels along an elliptical path
drawn in the darkness
the unpolished pearl in sky-black palm of handflickering sun-flame
then you rememberthat you are yourself are a light-bearer
receiving radiance from others
