lyrics

Unfolding

I
In a place where sorrow was long served,
the dark black lip of it
settled into the dew of dawn
curving around their necks
where children of the potential rose
like flames

II
Before you were dead
you were born
covered in your mother's fluid
you flowed out
a river
a waterfall
a watercolor for Ra

III
The assassin of lies
brought forth the golden birds
waiting ten thousand years
as they rode horses across the stars
a gallup through time

IV
It is a blinding
to see the children's shadows grow
as the great orchid opens
a bloom let down below
petal lips
it swells like string unfolding pleasure

V
a story
a re-mapping
a baby
a heartbeat
a color wheel in the garden
a key
a parallel dimension
down on Elysian St.
this is a river you have been crossing
a child in the driveway
a frontier before us with a line running through the center
a circle
a swish
the crystal that spoke to a fish
long black hair
leather strap
a sky smile
a smirk
a seahorse
nettles grow around the moat
a blue rose
a civil war diary
a gun
a burn in her skirt
that necklace from Peru
turn that page
a scrapbook of the dead
prayers of people
a string that speaks
a riddle
a portal
the rainbow bridge
children of the potential
a ritual at dusk
unfolding
unfolding
unfolding
