About Me

let me take you down to the end of the earth
two singularities hurtle together across a galaxy
otherness is relative to perspective
to watch the storms on the ocean from the patagonian cliffs
each falling into the other's deep nothing
what is now and what was will not always be
fresh and eternal with you on ancient virgin earth
they've already collided a million years from now
everything changes nothing
show me god moving over the face of the shimmering waters
tell me the first word ever spoken
give me everything you don't want
show me the shimmering face of god on the waters
tell me first before you've spoken
give me nothing i don't want
show me shimmering god upon the the waters
tell me words of the ever spoken
give me nothing everything i want
