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 |
