Snowblink - Three Prayers For Unsensational Resurrection: i. Sea Change lyrics

rate me

I write you on the tongues of bells.

I write you on the broken plates.

I write you in a stormy hand,

a cursive culled from gulls and ampersand.

It'll look like underwater.

It'll feel warm like Alabama

to come bearing gifts of flood

to douse our desert borders,

gifts of Bering landbridge

to walk our sealegs homeward.

O' the tired that feet and bones can grow

on a road paved over undertow.

O' the lengths that grace will make me go

are as great as eight grey whales full-grown.

You're the prayer I wouldn't dare intone. <br />
