the dead tongues - a bridge lyrics

Loading...

i peer over the edge down to the rocky cove
where the waves swell and bob in a cycle of motion
the air is cold and wet and seems to reach the sp+ce between my body and my soul
preaching some type of knowledge that is gained through the passing of distance
i open a bottle of wine, lean back on a stone and let my feet hang off the cliff wall
it’s the summer solstice and i’m looking for meaning

i see a white rock that seems to have a voice
that is to say, a way of speaking to me
i wrap it in cloth then put it in my bag
i look up at the moon, pour some wine on the ground and say
“just as these waves are your heartbeat, surely this wind is your breath”
i sit and wonder how much time and sp+ce lay between myself and the last to have felt it pass by
i wonder where it is now

it’s nearly midnight, but this far north it’s still a bit light out
i stand up and pour the rest of the bottle off the cliff
the wind scatters the wine into a red mist as it falls in slow motion
disappearing into a fog of ocean
“it’s the edge of the world,” i say to the stone wrapped in cloth
though i know this water is no longer a gatekeeper, but a bridge
