Wake

Listen
Of all the things you’re about to lose
This will be the most painful
Down in the floodplains waiting on a cure
Blessed be the water, may the water make us pure
Forms will be unborn in the mirror within the mirror
Rejoice now, rejoice now
The reckoning is here
Wake and I have been reborn
The tide concedes that homely shore and I am benighted
All my lines unlearned
Cry out, «Will God, or somebody, please turn the light on?»
Restore me to that empty room—expands out like hot air balloons
A woman comes she brings me food
I shit the bed in solitude
My life one brief unbroken loop—goes round and round with nothing left to hold
onto
But if there’s nothing, if there’s nothing
Then what’s that song that keeps hounding me?
In the still dark of the morning
Just one more cradle down the creek
Au revoir my little memories
Then tell me: this is not your loss, this is your offering
