You're thirsty because you remember that you're the ocean
Deep waters that were once blood and sap
~
The dust that clings to your skin brings eroded memories of ancestor bones and far-away galaxy songs
~
You seek pleasure because beauty feeds you, and the unspeakable sublime is an old skin
~
The stones that hold you contain secrets from millions of years that sing if you dare to dream
~
You're hungry to remember where you come from—the ground that feeds you and that you will nourish one day
~
The wind breathes with you, and the trees remember watching you grow
~
Come
Let yourself be cradled
Here, in the monster's mouth
Feel its putrid breath
While he sings you the sweetest songs
And you fall asleep at home
