Lyrics

If you be the universe Your skin recalls a delicate mamma Upon the [?] Kicking up dust on the savannahs Their names, cream as a coffee [?] on Sunday Your lashes, long wings dripping Lazy, singing noctunes through space The dark purple promises lays with cosmic tones The magic black of their fairy bodies encased in a glass box If you be the universe Your smile will be a horizon Opening wide, stretching a peach icecream Sunday across the sky Bold and [?], dripping across the tips of waves Under which all [?] happy days And driving bodies floating in and out of the projected years If you be the universe Your cries will mimic a century of pain The voice of whales and [?] The halos of woman angels, witches, and dreamers Their hearts are breaking in one glass [?] All fragments of history, layers upon layers of loss Like fossil shells in the palm of your hand Turned over, [?], marved, over the cliff If you be the universe Your name will resound with the ages The only female arcle at the temple of Apollo From you would beam a channel to the Gods A vortex of intuition, the gates in which would be [?] with sailing ships and grandmother's meaty arms Highsensed magnolias and bowls of milk and honey [?] petals falling And hummingbirds buzzing at your Saltwater creatures and circus acrobats All waiting at the bridge of you becoming Of you becoming a soul in a body A body in the light, embodied child of the universe Delphi
