Becoming Host

(Their wings block out the sunlight from my sky) In shifting I watch the flies gather over this picture like a sheath & Wrap their lips around its secret and deceit Suck the light from my eyes and burrow beneath my skin & And when it called I let it in Swallow your soul and cut a hole right into you & They shudder and shake and cut a road A body that lay like a stone stargazing now & shivers with life of its own Make me a host & Make me a palace, parasite & Pull out the walls of my world And build me anew & Build me from your antipathy & Shameless, complete and unfurled A most becoming host & There's no pain here - a strange salvation to find All confusion is simply traffic on these wires & Only hunger like a furnace Only longing in the chaos & Gaps that burn with contemplation Blister and split with a new infectious greed & A most becoming host *Swallow your soul & and cut a hole right into you & They shudder and shake and cut a road A body that lay like a stone stargazing now & shivers with life of its own Make me a host & Make me a palace parasite & Pull out the walls of my world And build me anew & Build me from your antipathy & Shameless, complete and unfurled (*Their wings block out the sunlight from my sky)
