Rainer Maria
Ceremony
the body has got to be worth saving
eyelids are shining with headache and perspiration
morning is finding good intentions under sleep's persuasion
the body has got to be...
our past lives were too heavy and too expensive
now we're paying together for our inventions maybe there's a ceremony written down inside the body
where maybe no one ever sees you begin like a lion and you end like a lamb
molars are grinding inspiration down to nothing
where are the instructions on how to keep it going? the body...
a patient motor in secret is whirring
binding together what was broken with the heart's string
to have without keeping
to sigh without boredom
to know without thinking
and to love without ever knowing
maybe there's a ceremony written down inside the body where maybe no one ever sees
