about
the title track from "all these darlings and now me"
lyrics
Not even the knowledge of creatures on their hind legs is foolproof.
Begging water, begging favor,
They can compass the water for hidden lakes, divination,
Or read tea leaves in the shape of fawns: breast bared, bound feet
As though the promise of purity is enough
To fill a chest empty for two years, or is it three?
“Here – you can have it back if only you drink.”
Between the wither and the wraith,
On the one hand marble stairs and on the other,
Well you know they seal these floors in pigs blood.
They said, “I bet they’ll never make it”
(I can’t stand to be here but i can’t bear to leave you)
Courting water from salted crypts
Come what may take my body out to sea
and when I get there make sure
There’s a place I can breathe.
I can take the long way home and I can bury the rest
when the flood goes away.
