the water is running
as I stand before the mirror
waiting for it to warm
to wash, shave and comb my hair
waiting, too, for something else
the coldness in me to go
in the light of a love
that will not run out as I grow old
the winter stillness stirs
my eyes pool
clearing my way
with tears
Audio:
I am
of
I cannot be
outside of
of
all that is
is
of
Audio:
like dew
or new
being with
you
without having
to be there
from below
or above
ensouls me
I
you
Audio:
say it
so
wound
heals
hearts
know
longing
grows
say it
so
Audio:
I take a knife
to cut the river
in two
I stop the wind
to ask
why
I trust
in what I cannot
name
Audio:
the christ
the silence
between us
divines
when we have
nothing
but each other
all
is
birth
nothing
is
impossible
Audio:
without one
I am not
in
locked
out of my
own
told
to disappear
from the threshold
I am
am I not
gift
mystery
beyond
measure
of this
I cannot be
outside
but a lie
keeps whispering:
pay
to pass
Audio:
turn
in
turn
out
turn
to
on the swing
of with
the ooze
of if
the chrism
of now
to
others
to
you
to
re
turn
Audio:
with always
in her eyes
she turns
her feet
never forgot
the way
Audio:
light and dark
equinox
when
with
with
with
sister
brother
kin
feel
their way
to honest
skin
Audio:
