sinew - Purity Ring

Rest like you belong here

With your damp hair

With your chest heaving

Soar out over the long land

With your cold hands

To watch the plains receding

Waves up off of the pavement

Will carry you in

It’s like your sweat is cleaning

You swallowed the sinew

My body passed through

Before I began breathing

When the night falls and the light dawns

Off each other’s bodies, now you see

When the land falls and the tide crawls

Off each other’s bodies, you’re in me

Drawn out like the Laurentiens

Out through the window

Color the grace in our age

Peer down into the craters

Under the lost lakes

Where clarity is buried

Waves up off of the pavement

Will carry you in

It’s like your sweat is cleaning

You swallowed the sinew

My body passed through

Before I began breathing

When the night falls and the light dawns

Off each other’s bodies, now you see

When the land falls and the tide crawls

Off each other’s bodies, you’re in me

Now you see

How you’re in me

In me

Now you see

How you’re in me

In me

Waves up off of the pavement

Will carry you in

It’s like your sweat is cleaning

You swallowed the sinew

My body passed through

Before I began breathing
