lyrics

I am those–that branch, that wild shoot. I had
darkened eyes and a bent back,
closed ears and clumsy feet.

The cultured limbs could have once been bent like twine
and tied tight & curly.
They were hardened and deadened and splintered off,
leaving only a scrap of the source.
Whole branches were broken, snapped, cracked, and split,
so I might be slipped into that slit of stock.

The roots pull the boughs up out from the ground.
Who will ascend to call them back down?
And how will the cause of cause come down to us?

The roots pull the branches out from beneath the ground.
