lyrics

Crown of Daisies

The self is the least of it
Let our scars fall in love
It might be they have poetry
The envy of Percy and Rumi

Brazen as shards of light
That dash decisive from slate skies
Clashing to illuminate the vastness
Under shadows and confinement

Saying yes to friction that tears open and pours
I exclaim over the hills and valleys
Hear me, no longer do I cower unassuming
Flocking amid faceless crowds

Hope never to be chosen
Never to be chosen last
Some invisible daisy among multitudes
Perhaps plucked and woven into a garland crown

For a sweet child’s head
Until her fancy draws her onward
Discarded crown, rotting on the ground
This no longer suffices, no

This body to be held, lithe and sinewed
Bloated and cut, naked and pumping
A breath deep and full, rounded
Like the silver moon, shining in the darkness

Cycling around to meet dawn
And meeting the fiery source
This body heavenly, proud, humbled wants the same
Wearing scars like crowns of daisies, bright

Inviting you to do the same
To rejoice, not in what separates
Rejoice in what we all must claim
Or be claimed by
