Sonogram

I woke up and forgot the myths That bind our past to this That lead us blindly To circle in slow motion Time is my decaying note Once sung, once left your throat No other offering Worth more than this gift One foot behind the other, never looking back Echoes on a sonogram Smarter than we hope we think Bring bodies close to the brink Wear different costumes Tell the same old stories Helpless in the wake of time Vaulting from earth to sky We're cells and water Like every living thing One foot behind the other, never looking back Echoes on a sonogram I woke up and forgot the myths That bind our past to this That lead us blindly To circle in slow motion --- Sonogram - Emily Barker
