Running from the Whole - Sarah Fimm

Mr
Cripple man
Do you still feel your hands
The light you never fill
She's waiting by the door
While atoms play around
You sit here to obstruct
I never thought to think that what goes down does not come up
We're hostage on the gravity train
Just when we move forward we fall back again
The sharpness of his nail
It hammers down the fold
In all this time
We're just Running from the Whole
Enter woman
Girl
Enter to your left
Stage right
The chaos it ensues
Beneath the coating of your skin
Her boa it constricts
The spotlight on a barren soul
She needn't ask the stars just what it's like to feel star cold
We're hostage on the gravity train
Just when we move forward we fall back again
The sharpness of his nail
It hammers down the fold
In all this time we're just Running from the Whole
And when I leave again
I'll cycle through this atmosphere
Past a marching band of souls
Who scrape me with their human eyes
A taste of bitter earth
I'll just bring with me a dollar's worth
My face burns from the wind and it's time to shed my second skin
We're hostage on this gravity train
Just when we move forward we fall back again
The sharpness of his nail
It hammers down the fold
In all this time we're just Running from the Whole
