Lyrics
A trail of pelts and broken bones
And friendships with the drowning
Swallows diving in a pool of sorrow
Imperfect to the eyes of god
And through these walls turned sinew and skin all cracked like dawn
Under the weight of their expectations
Naked and open
Milk turns to earth in my breast
and my shoulder blades
are tectonic plates
swimming away
from my spine
unbraced
A choir of angels: featherless, vengeful
descending like a wake
descending
In circles
