Where Light Divides the Holler

Floating around the bend

Where light divides the holler

Body is merged between moss and stone

Where blood finds color

She dissolves in the bank and I’m left alone

Writhing in the clay

(the water rises and sways)

Betray the human shape

(the water takes you away)

Final embrace

Tangled in the vine

Held to the floor of the earth

My vision restored

From the fog you emerge

Carried by standing water

We collide with shoulder and steel

Sundered from your spirit lays your body

The sense of touch reminds me that its real

And from within you I hear a whimper

A voice echos in an empty form

Inside my head you say I told you so

We should’ve left before the storm

A tear in the fabric of life

“We have each other and thats all we’ll ever need”

I crawl out of the river

Shaking hands with blood under my nails

I am reborn in a life without you
