Cut the power, I’ll thrive in the dark
The survivors killers and cowards ’cause we ain’t got no heart
No hours, every day is a tally mark
We hid while they went in the Ark, two by two
When he was gone we danced under the moon
Cut the power, I’ll thrive in the dark
The survivors killers and cowards ’cause we ain’t got no heart
No hours, every day is a tally mark
We hid while they went in the Ark, two by two
When he was gone we danced under the moon
“I didn’t mean to hurt you, I am
a beginner beginning to lose
sight of what I was beginning, I am
beginning a house I am beginning
to grow filaments. I took you in, I took
you into my mouth into my hands I heard
the flutter of your creaseless heart
I heard your curls and your muscles”
Maggie Nelson | “The Beginner”
