Pangs of Legitimacy
Take me home, please, I became overtired
With these false visions shown to me
A monastery on the coastline, I saw
Lined up against a wall, waiting to take a drink
From the well that feeds the lost souls.
Sick of the flies on the wall, they crawled
Over my skin, feeding on my own weakness
They left me naked against the drainpipe
The stone was built over me, covering
A new day dawned, I became new again.
They gave me shelter and rich fruits
Helped me survive for a week and more
Took me in and dressed me up, and then left me
Hanging there, on the corroded hook, hanging
Above the precipice, the restless sea waiting beneath.
