lyrics

My body is tilled with rake and hoe
Exposing the musk of fertile loam

All is only life, budding in the ground
Birthing light and glory, shedding warmth around

A planted peach to swell,
bloom, and fuzz the branches
with bark unfit to snap

Where are you planted?

My body is cracked from loin and limb
Starved of water, the famine of winter

All is only worms, burrowing to the core
birthing blight and chaos that only begs for more

A kind of pit to feed
the cold and barren void
A meadow ripe for rot

Where are you planted?
