Here’s another poem from the book:
You have always belonged to the moon
Though sometimes it leads you astray
Past willows across the swinging bridge
To somebody’s grave by the river
Stuck in the cave of your skull
You grope for the disappeared moon
Down where it’s blue so blue
Only Blind Willie Johnson
Can sing your way home
Only Isaac the Blind can see
The banshee has got your bones
She’s beating her drum with your bones
And you’re stuck in the cave of your skull
No willows no swinging bridge
Who will plant you deep in the earth?
Who will water your toes?
When the banshee has got your bones
When she’s beating her drum with your bones
You have always belonged to the moon
Only Isaac the Blind can show you
That glow beyond the bridge
Though sometimes it leads you astray
Past willows across the swinging bridge
To somebody’s grave by the river
Stuck in the cave of your skull
You grope for the disappeared moon
Down where it’s blue so blue
Only Blind Willie Johnson
Can sing your way home
Only Isaac the Blind can see
The banshee has got your bones
She’s beating her drum with your bones
And you’re stuck in the cave of your skull
No willows no swinging bridge
Who will plant you deep in the earth?
Who will water your toes?
When the banshee has got your bones
When she’s beating her drum with your bones
You have always belonged to the moon
Only Isaac the Blind can show you
That glow beyond the bridge
Only Blind Willie Johnson
Can sing your way home
Can sing your way home
Moon Goddess Jemma M. Young |
