Soft static in the room like a prayer on repeat I can taste the moon in the back of my teeth Hands full of salt, eyes full of smoke I’m floating through the ceiling on a little half note Baby, I was built from a rumor and a spark Tracing tiny gold circles in the dark Every breath says, “stay,” every pulse says, “go” I melt into the blue where the good things grow Hush now, let the cosmos spin slow I’m a glass of warm water in a temple glow Half asleep, half awake, out of my mind Finding God in the crack of a vinyl line We are the tide, we are the thread We are the names that the stars forget And when it all goes quiet, I still know The whole wild universe lives in my bones
