Say My Name

This winter No different This ice and falling snow Unburied I’m freezing I have so far to go Keep digging I’m freezing I’ve never been this cold Inside me So lightly I feel that dying glow Torn pages From the book we wrote Blood and ink The serpent coiled Wild horses Drive into the sun So hopeless Yet given to none No shadow cast Absorbed in light Immersed in passion Returned to die Take back the power Turn loose the ends Free fall forever Or until you land Let's light the candle From both its sides Let's meet in the middle Let's see if we die You be the feather I’ll be the flame Now do what I tell you And say my name My body empty A broken church Burned out and hollow And sunken into earth Your body empty No color and cold Pulled from the garden So that I might hold You as you are meant to be Now say my name
