Can you feel it?
*That something juicier and wetter
That something wilder and fiercer
That something wiser and stronger*
Divine and lovely fragment of God
Searching and sifting
Through the soil caking your feet
Your archaeological dig site
Resurrecting from your deep red earthiness
Sorting your finds
Cataloguing your treasures
Can you smell it?
*That something juicier and wetter
That something wilder and fiercer
That something wiser and stronger*
Turning over and over each exhumed shard
I watch you squatted, frog like
Remembering ~ Releasing ~ Restoring
Becoming one with Ivory bone and awakening to the harmony of blood's song
Navigating with courage your shadow
I watch you bearing down
Giving birth to truth and beauty
Can you taste it on the wind?
*That something juicier and wetter
That something wilder and fiercer
That something wiser and stronger*

Can you feel it?
*That something juicier and wetter
That something wilder and fiercer
That something wiser and stronger*
Divine and lovely fragment of God
Searching and sifting
Through the soil caking your feet
Your archaeological dig site
Resurrecting from your deep red earthiness
Sorting your finds
Cataloguing your treasures
Can you smell it?
*That something juicier and wetter
That something wilder and fiercer
That something wiser and stronger*
Turning over and over each exhumed shard
I watch you squatted, frog like
Remembering ~ Releasing ~ Restoring
Becoming one with Ivory bone and awakening to the harmony of blood's song
Navigating with courage your shadow
I watch you bearing down
Giving birth to truth and beauty
Can you taste it on the wind?
*That something juicier and wetter
That something wilder and fiercer
That something wiser and stronger*
