EVER-CURLING TIME

A track that will be included in the album-in-progress Augural Canticles. On the ever-curling paradox of love and time. #lynnheage #anthropodigital #evercurlingtime #auguralcanticles Lyrics I loved you with my silence and all my hopelessness In the ruins of the temple, a clear sky descends With offerings of ever-curling time, Again, I shall depart A clouded ring, covenant of a kiss That never left the lips My soul departed lonely Alone and long ago Now dwells in the fish’s grief Dark oceans foam its scorn Sirens that never sing / a heart that never loves The summer is a bridge of flowers and a dream, A dream that cannot move, a pain that never mourns. You touched the sleeping door, and washed my threefold sin Threshold of no return, where you exist And sink in silver mist A gallery of jesters cradling a hollow fist The tendrils of my mind crawling to reach your side O gravity of ruins collapsing in a night Of swords and absolutions / of Sabbath and demise I love you with my silence and all my hopelessness In the ruins of the temple, a clear sky descends You stand ere me forever As nigh to me as breath Unreachable—forever You stand ere me like death
