Kit Kelen #331 - swim for it

331

swim for it

(song)

cling to the thing

until you forget

until you forget

that it's there

that you are

that you're afloat

there's always the risk

that you'll sink

if you see

just how far out

you are

my home is a song

it's the words

I go under

am I even here?

cling to the namelessness that's me

break through an ache to be whole

cling to the thing

and what's it called?

stand over the highway

and watch it flow

we've made a river again

we've been through so much

somewhere out beyond my name

more me than am

and you can too

you're all inside

blood tucked as well

in head flows

hair grows

you're skinned

and you're alive

so listen

of all the clichés I inhabit

best to find me here

in love

put my feet of clay

in the stream

it's the sun makes day

sing while you cling

it needs no naming

then why do we?

there's a beyond of everything

further out than deep you cling

best things come to me

napping now

breathe all in for a first time

it's out of every trick in the book

everything you bring

from all the tricks you are

cling to the thing

wherever

however

how'd you get so far?

all that's expected

be better than that

cling to the thing

until you forget

until you forget

that it's there

that you are

that you're afloat

there's always the risk

that you'll sink

if you see

just how far out

you are
