john poch - simon peter lyrics
contagious as a yawn, denial poured
over me like a soft fall fog, a pearl
all swallowed by its oyster flesh, caving
and being waved, feigning, boring and bored
there actually was a robed commotion parading
i turned and turned away and turned. a swirl
of wind pulled back my hood, a fire of coal
brightened my face, and those around me whispered:
you’re one of them, aren’t you? you smell like fish
and wine, someone else joked. that’s brutal. that’s cold
i said, and then they knew me by my speech
they let me stay and we told jokes like fisher+
men and houseboys. we gossiped till the c+ck crowed
his head a small volcano raised to mock stone
who could believe a woman’s word, perfumed
in death? i did. i ran and was outrun
before i reached the empty tomb. i stepped
inside an empty shining sh+ll of a room
sans pearl. i walked back home alone and wept
again. at dinner. his face shone like the sun
i went out into the night. i was a sailor
and my father’s nets were calling. it was high tide
i brought the others. nothing, the emptiness
of business, the hypnotic waves of failure
but a voice from shore, a familiar fire, and the nets
were full. i wouldn’t be outswum, denied
this time. the coal+fire before me, the netted fish
behind. i’m carried where i will not wish
