lyrics

we shuffle our feet
to the thrash of the bird with one wing
circling and circling
an obstacle found in everything

a dive with the lurch
quivering, curled in the dirt
harlot land stripped of flower and fruit
crushed bluebird by the heel of my boot

this mercy’s dizzying
take my hand and follow my lead

waltz across the scrambling vines
searching for signs of life
peel back the rinds
free the parched seeds inside

scatter like feathers left
relinquished roots in barren beds
white noise static skies
we tango as one wing flies

forever dip and twist
eternal return to all of this

I hold you up
I hold your gown
I hold you in
I hold you down

I let go and our bodies slow
we sit down, collect what we know
scoop up the heaving creature this time
cradle it close but I squeeze too tight

it may not be for me to decide
if bird returns to earth or sky
which part of this will is truly free
in this punishing mercy?

I hold you up
I hold your gown
I hold you in
I hold you down
