Katabasis

from To Make Sound by Total Wife

lyrics

Skeletal like the frozen trees,
the caretaker's antlers guide me home.

The wounded buck on Misen's peak
gently saunters the path, curved like a spine.

Spirit of the woods, a nymph glides through
my body, fleeing falling night.

We are fused like ice around Benzaiten temples,
I carry them both.

Bundled in weakness
I want simply to be nude,
trembling soul to sand
to meet the low tide.

As the sun sets slow, mountain snow froze,
burdened feet struggle to grip the man-laid stone staircase,
snug in sockets, carved by hands that are now just dust.
