lyrics

i call for
another deity
but your name
is what comes out of me
and i'm left
begging for a pardon
from the man
who sent me starving
crawl and call
out for the goddess
the hungry
dogs come regardless
with the
fondness of a cat hiss
give them a
hand man they handled it
handing down
sentence like Pontius

light so old
i think it's gone from whence it glowed

i call for another day
but your name comes out of me

hallelu (sp?)
drunk on the cruise
like an unc (sp?)
for evening news

wondering why the light looks ancient
who'll survive
without money in the Caymans?

my name lives on tongues of friends*
briefly then let language end*
light so old and still we can't
fake or force resignation

drunk at the function*
split into billions of atoms*
take my hand*
there i am again*

*lines heavily influenced (see: lifted) by the poetry of Danez Smith
