this human free

the grey clouds rolled in onto you

in her womb the vessel was sacred

searching for a home to call home

belong now deep sister of song

belong now let go let go of all your

nowheres nothings belong now

the deepest whisper in July sunshine

upon your tongue open wide

sing your song

potential searches the eye of the knower

of nothing in silence

come lover wrap around my moist centre

teach me the dance danced by my ancestors

teach me the song i sing when i am alone

now in front of you

let's be alone together let's get lost together

oh you,

brother of my heart let's belong here now

she has done enough she has held enough

she has danced enough she has taught enough

let her rest in the chest & sing her lullaby

i will call you late night & remind of where we will meet

under the paisley moon we will dance

by the headlight of our story

we will dance oh lover

take my clothes down to the river

drown my persona in the wetlands

of our human tale

i will dance with you naked human free

& belong belong now love

belong now love

in this you & me.
