about
Most of my childhood was enjoyable and fun. This is an upbeat celebration of the good times, of which there were many. It also features the wonderful poem ‘Subtext’, written and performed by John Marcell.
lyrics
SUBTEXT
There is a current
Running just below the surface
Of which you and I partake
Electric, intoxicating, wild, vengeful
And bursting forth surprising patterns
Manifesting unhesitatingly into our lives
Yes, surprising us, when we were dead to
The world, but alive to each other
Bringing knowledge and remembrance
Redemption and salvation
Warm and wet and fertile and intimate
Alive in us, alive in mortal I
Grinding forward, dizzying, out of control
That which comes into being, unifying, frightening
Tender and loving, hungry destroyer of worlds,
Sacred earth, mother, goddess, birther, fire, imminent
bringer of death
The infinite "is-ness" of the Universe
Swallow us whole
