Whether you’re the tree
Whether you’re the roots
Whether you’re the grass between the feet
Whether you’re the dirt
Whether you’re the branches
Or the water on the leaves, it doesn’t matter what you choose –
It’s a silly metaphor I’ve started to use
It doesn’t matter what you choose –
somehow I’m still connected to you
For me you’re the lemon tree in my backyard who grew up right, but then blocked the light Heft high the sharpened axe to cut the tree down; and the fire waits for your roots to dry.
But your roots are still deep, oh their sitting next to me &
their deep deep down inside
Oh your roots are still deep, oh their rotting next to me,
as I’m the dirt that watched you die.
It’s a bit overwhelming
What can I do or say or believe in
It’s a bit overwhelming
But I’m still connected to you
Oh to be the rhizome, permanently deconstructing my own mould
To be ‘the body with no organs’ be the body with no soul; essentially a bigger asshole
Coz you’re the lemon tree that possess’ me, it’s not a negative thing-just a sad place to be
Oh you’re the lemon tree that sits atop of me,
its not a negative thing- just a sad place to be
It’s a bit overwhelming
What can I do or say or believe in
It’s a bit overwhelming
But I’m still connected to you
you’re roots rot around me, they decompose then form me-
Past, present, future: all truth
