What seed can you plant
What spell can you chant
To reverse the curse?

A part rejected
Tribe-self ejected
Mourns, disconnected
Twitters for a look
Pages the endless book
For a face to grant grace
Where’s a human in this race
Who’ll suffer my shame and call out blame
As my oppresser
Fear of pain the worst transgressor of all
The scourge standing at the flogging wall

If desire could speak would you be meek enough to hear it calling out its lack
Not step forward or back
Meet it on your side of the river
With the giver of Life
Dipping from that eternal brew
The same dew they drew for you
Before you grew to know more than
now
The simple pleasure of present

Do you trust in lust alone?

When shown all your hardest shells
Which of those hells do you run back inside?
When you get there
How do you hide from those walls?
