Diaspora from The Wound by Vulning

Into the night and the black of the storm
This is the day that a childhood dies
A knot interwoven by family ties
Blessed be this wretched diaspora
The light has grown absent, beset by the roots
Of a family tree unwinding
Of a purpose unbound and dying
Blessed be this wretched diaspora

Blessed be this razorous memory
Buried in the creases of a hand
The sigil of warmth, now passed
Blessed be this wretched diaspora
I will watch your body beside you
I will keep the wolves at bay
I will raise this soul and sing this loss
Blessed be this wretched diaspora

Hold fast to this Angel of collapse
Bloody and bind your faithful hands
The wolf wears the skin of a mother
Who died with a place dispossessed
Walk with god, daughter of sunlight
As you balance the arc of every cut
Torn from the womb of the earth
An orphan asea by the storm

Speak, breathe in rhythmic threnody
A house, collapsed
Home as a passage, surrounded by ashes
Rapturous burial bloom
The past is a fire, it eats and it ends
Forage for truth in the cutting of threads
Denizens cast in the dark of the earth
Blood is not enough

Nine lights cloud your precious eyes
Sedatives and dreams you set aside
And perils decidedly vespertine
You are the voice undone, paralyzed
And cubic arrangements of sanctity
Cordoned off into idolatry
Soft placental lights may play
Upon the parallax of collapsing faith

This is the altar, infinite path
Unwound to the tune of despair
Symmetry vanishing, aqueous lungs
Erasing this citadel barren
This is the storm and the light of eternity
Passing through matter and misery equally
This is the pattern of patterns unraveling
This is the death of a family

Into the night and the black of the storm
This is the day that a childhood dies
A knot interwoven by family ties
Blessed be this wretched diaspora
The light has grown absent, beset by the roots
Of a family tree unwinding
Of a purpose unbound and dying
Blessed be this wretched diaspora

Blessed be this razorous memory
Buried in the creases of a hand
The sigil of warmth, now passed
Blessed be this wretched diaspora
I will watch your body beside you
I will keep the wolves at bay
I will raise this soul and sing this loss
Blessed be this wretched diaspora
