Setting Sun Lyrics

i am awake when i dream you
i keep your breath in a bottle
by the bed
like the hawthorn in the pillow
something powerful
is growing underneath our heads
and the sun is setting

this couldn't happen to me
somebody else's thread
is inexplicably
weaving a loom
into the womb
around our bed
Mother Spider and her
progeny
are waking
how far
is the
river
where the
token
fits
how do
breathing
humans
get there
how do i
live with this?
i know
i know
what you are
clearer than a theme
of pondering the twinkling
above my fear so high
is a fate we cannot override

we always knew it would end this way
the martyr lives by the impaling stake
