Visual: “Season Change” by Lena Gustafson. Beautiful, right!?
lyrics
I pull at my prayer
I struggle to
undo the olden wound
So I’m pacing the porch
I weary the stoop
And I beg my childhood too
I try
Bosom loin mind and gut
To settle My heart that’s the only way
To settle My heart
Holy hollering
To settle my heart
I straddle my prayer
It muscle me
Hold fast steady
Bear the swelling grief
And I cradle
And talk to my mystery
Don’t shut me out Don’t deceive
Don’t embarrass me
I try
Despite the furious mind and gut
To settle my heart
Buck shudder cuss hiss and shake
My early mysteries
Veil dull weakening
Holy roarer wholly hollering
C’mon settle me down
Pit clench cuss piss and sing
My heated prayers collide
Wreck that throat tattering
You pulled the honey out while I was inside the belly
C’mon settle down
Holy horror wholly hollering C’mon settle
Hold me down
