The Widow

from The Widow by Tom Violence

lyrics

Imagine yourself as cold as me
six dead fingers grow to a tree
Each one grows and each one grows
Into the shape of a knot that knows
It knows what happened, who you are
Your silver and fillings, your stomach and heart
Mountain frost reaches to the ground
Your body dissolving is echoing sound
Worms that jump between scalp and skull
The brain exposed is bitten like wool
Wind whips through and you hover over
Stomach knifed open, awake and discover
Stomach knifed open, awake and discover
Stomach knifed open, awake and discover
Stomach knifed open, awake and discover
Released, your bitten hand from the Earth
Long and gray and clenched bursts forth
Fingers meet the night
To the open air
Out of the shallow grave, a figure
With dragging legs at an awkward stagger
Intestines hanging long like snakes
The widow is released
Horsemen of the apocalypse
Conquest, war, famine, and death
Follow in the corpse’s path
The widow is released
Released, the widow (rpt 2x)
