<div class="verse">I was born at the edge of the numinous.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That is why I can tread along the border.
|
||
|
|
That is why I'm able to whisper the name of God.
|
||
|
|
That is why I'm allowed to know the number and how to factor it.
|
||
|
|
That is why I have seven fingers spread wide and three curled toward my heart.
|
||
|
|
That is why my limbs trace the curves and lines of power when I dance.
|
||
|
|
That is why I sit with my back to the sun in summer.
|
||
|
|
That is why my body is a canvas.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You were born in sunlight.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Speak secrets into my hair.
|
||
|
|
Take my words from me.
|
||
|
|
Spend the intercalary days telling me lies.
|
||
|
|
Break my dystonia with a breath.
|
||
|
|
Wash my face with salt water.
|
||
|
|
Tell me the name you call yourself.
|
||
|
|
Close my eyes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We will sleep in the shade.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let me bless you with smoke.
|
||
|
|
Let me bathe your feet.
|
||
|
|
Let me light the candles.
|
||
|
|
Let me place a stone beneath my tongue.
|
||
|
|
Let me taste copper.
|
||
|
|
Let me draw in ash.
|
||
|
|
Let me rise up until my head is in the branches and my hair becomes the leaves.</div>
