You walked away
Leaving me with one hand clapping
Shouldering the pain
Like a staunch Mennonite
Washing bloodstains with freshly fallen snow

Initiation

Separation, ordeal, return
Journey into the sea of despair

You’ve always been somebody
The medicine is inside

All the wisdom abides within
Awaken the cosmological shift

What is this dream of my life?
Who is it that longs for you?

Practice the necessary rituals
Re-imagine your ceremonial gifts

Your religion will never hold water
Against the currents of your soul
