Avalanche |
Well, I stepped into an avalanche |
It covered up my soul |
When I am not this hunchback that you see |
I sleep beneath the golden hill |
You, who wish to conquer pain |
You must learn, learn to serve me well |
You strike my side by accident |
As you go down for your gold |
The cripple here that you clothe and feed |
Is neither starved nor cold |
He does not ask for your company |
Not at the center, the center of the world |
When I am not on a pedestal |
You did not raise me there |
Your laws do not compel me |
To kneel grotesque and bare |
I, myself am the pedestal |
For this ugly hump at which you stare |
You who wish to conquer pain |
You must learn what makes me kind |
The crumbs of love that you offer me |
They’re the crumbs I’ve left behind |
Your pain is no credential here |
It’s just the shadow; |
shadow of my wound |
I have begun to long for you |
I, who have no greed |
I have begun to ask for you |
I, who have no need |
You say you’ve gone away from me |
But I can feel you, feel you when you breathe |
Do not dress in those rags for me |
I know you are not poor |
You don’t love me quite so fiercely now |
When you know that you are not sure |
It is your turn, beloved |
It is your flesh that I wear |
