letra de incantations of intimacy - penny rimbaud & youth

how i cry out to touch
where expression of it is only there in the taking

when longing was rich, how longed for i was
but was that the tension of opposites we call love
or merely the abstraction of desire?
how freely i would come to you in the grove
that you were entertained
as i learnt the confines of the unconditional

is love, then, mere trinket
a rare but never unique union of matter
or is it no more than corporeal flamboyance?

oh, i have yearned landscape every bit as much as body
indeed, i see them as one
the laboured hillside arcing back-worn into the swirling mist
the oil-black tarn abbreviating the moorland
the wind-bent blackth-rn so far from the bloodied brow
all these pulling down the sky
to whisper strange incantations of intimacy
that here perhaps might be the quietude of forgetfulness

then also the hawk or crow
or other carrion weighed against indifference
screeching the epiphany
devouring the profanities of separation
these winged scholars bring me wisdom and learning
beyond reach of frail mortality
then is it there that needs we must exist?
oh, strange friend
i have bowed to thy feet in the bleeding
or downed the sacrament with l-sty pleasure
that once again the sun might treasure our bodies
or melt us down to earth
yet how versed we are to resistance
how studied against the invisible
that angels be denied the avalanche of being

so then, i shall stand proud upon the snowfield
and await the thaw
or be buried in the waiting
