The demise of all I know to be true
I was just walking through the wood with you
When a tree fell across my path 
And I felt God’s wrath
Alight on my head 
And if I woke up dead
I could testify
To the great lie 
But the something there won’t let me go
I fell to the floor and now I know
I was on the verge of a precipice
Til death came to kiss
Me full on on the lips
And it was a magnificent eclipse
And it was only in the night that the sun shone
I only knew it when it was gone
In brilliant white and effervescence 
I made a curse into a blessing 
And I awoke groggy but sharp
My teacher wondered did she make a mark
On me making me stand that long
But it was a song 
That fell from me 
Not absent hunger, infinitely
