Becoming Host - Code

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

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)
