lyrics

And Then He Dived In

And then he dived in, naked out of necessity.
Spirals hovered in his wake, and anthems
were sung spontaneously. We sang until
our pores were open by the same chill pond
that enveloped him. He knew and we knew
the water was song. The songs were the water
and the path to the water. Proximity is everything.

Suddenly one among us arose, walked
straight to the water, and dived. We never
saw him again/alive. Now a new mimicry
skirts our lives, and trims our ancient need.
Now we study in the field, incessantly.
We disperse in patterns themselves quite beautiful,
striations on the body of time.
