Allow for the bleed


O you of dripping jaws
you of drizzling elbows
your perspiring nails
and flooding ankles
The god of, if you are a god, all liquid things
unleash your wet sword,

O river, O sea
release your gushing heart to my aid
shower all gates open,
you watery messiah
pierce your slippery mercy in
rain o sir! rain o madam!

rain you of ephemeral silhouette
dissolve all this solid fear
this trembling of angry rock
melt this shivering of stubborn mountain
this most rigid panic, evaporate
sir, madam,

condense please this iron terror
You god of, if you are a god at all, of all liquid things
Sir, Madam,
Destroy all this rigidity
Jeopardize this fixed sadness
Break all the walls
Sir, Madam, please,
heed to my metal stiff plea
Allow for the bleed.

…back to The Shadows.
