There will come a time when I have to go
Sea: there will come a time when I leave you
Arms in the earth holding Everything arms holding the Weight of my tongue collapsing On my teeth the weight of Mountains like blankets, Crashing as one on the rocks, I Feel (like I feel when asleep) The shells scrape me out
Into the open I am bloodied Sand
(like I feel when asleep, like I'm moving)
I am the mud in your hairline
I am the towering hills deer roll Down in a fallow heap they Gasp where are we they answer You are a part of each other
And the falling and flying Doesn't end when you sleep
So stay awake forever
So you can swim in every water
In arms of every water
And pass on
Because in every water
Your weight will live forever
Your weight will live forever
Your weight in the waters will live forever
Whales in the deep have known your name forever
Whales in the deep have known your name forever
Whales have known your maiden name forever
