about

(for Devin)

lyrics

When I calm down

A feather falls through my chest

The veil is opening

When I calm down

Great mothers purr into the earth into the earth into me

When I calm down

Mellow hands they cup the dirt beneath the room where I’m sleeping
When I calm down

Halo above protect my bones protect my breath protect me

I shook my pain

Over the ancestral well

Nobody came
No echo down the family line

No answer from inside
I cuss and shake

Hungry as I was

Don’t make me wait

Bawling at the temple door\

Crawling on the floor

No singing fills the chapel there

No one felt my prayer

Hungry as I ever was
Hungry as I was

Hungry as I ever was
Hungry as I was

Did I grieve all my honey out?

Lay your hands upon me

Put the blessing back into me

Don’t ask me to go without

I cuss and shake

Hungry as I was

Don’t hesitate
Pry open my unwept life

Pour me out as wine

Soak the veil and pull me through

Press me into you

Hungry as I ever was

Hungry as I was

Happy as I ever was

Happy as I was

Hungry as I ever was

Hungry as I was

Hungry as I ever was

Hungry as I was
