There\u2019s a little life out there
\nSwimming in a lake, frozen over
\nThey skate above her screaming
\nAtop the water and get high
\nAll the cracks of glass and scripture
\nDrifting far below the ice<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a feather on the wind
\nFalling from the weight of the escape
\nTwisting from another\u2019s sin
\nIt falls in ichor, doesn\u2019t falter
\nThough it\u2019s sanguine and divine
\nIt\u2019s tasted water once before
\nThough it once was promised wine<\/p>\n
In the orchard of the abyss
\nSenses dance senseless with dread
\nThey throw themselves to the floor
\nWhile an Ibis flies overhead
\nIn your sleep you leave your teeth
\nAnd boat upon a Styx of blood
\nSuck the marrow out of life
\nTake a breath before the flood
\nYour lungs may fill with water
\nYou tell yourself \u201cit\u2019s good\u201d<\/p>\n
And it happened again
\nYou always risk your heart
\nIn the race to find your head
\nIt will happen again
\nEvery -ness you find in life
\nJust a tide that breaks the end
\nJust a kiss to drink tonight
\nIf you don\u2019t find yourself drunk instead<\/p>\n
She plants a seed out in the sand
\nWhere no young girl ever should
\nShe drank the tears left by the sky
\nSo she waters it with blood
\nShe prays it\u2019s a Joshua tree
\nIn truth she won\u2019t know till she falls
\nHer parched lips kiss its skin
\nVessel or vesicle
\nThough she\u2019s tired it\u2019s still the brink
\nShe forgets her hands in the kitchen sink
\nWhatever\u2019s thrown her way, she\u2019ll say \u201cit\u2019s fine\u201d
\nLike water, like wine<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
