muriel rukeyser - the poem as mask lyrics
Loading...
when i wrote of the women in their dances and wildness, it was a mask
on their mountain, gold+hunting, singing, in orgy
it was a mask; when i wrote of the god
fragmented, exiled from himself, his life, the love gone down with song
it was myself, split open, unable to speak, in exile from myself
there is no mountain, there is no god, there is memory
of my torn life, myself split open in sleep, the rescued child
beside me among the doctors, and a word
of rescue from the great eyes
no more masks! no more mythologies!
now, for the first time, the god lifts his hand
the fragments join in me with their own music
