Woods Part of When

you can take my body all apart
 and my apple heart
 it will grow again
 you can take these words
 in your lips two hands
 you can take these words
 from the woods part of when
 I have worn steep heels
 and a dress too tight
 I have pressed my life
 against sharpened things
 and bled sentences
 and shed innocence
 like unwanted skin
 in the woods part of when
 I've wed the sun
 and his golden man
 just to hold some gold
 in my hungry hand
 but a silent bride
 is a death too tight
 so I left by night
 for the woods part of when
 like a groaning chain
 I have worn beliefs
 but now link by link
 I have shattered them
 for a soldier's soul
 is a bootless thing
 since I found my feet
 in the woods part of when
 and now love will
 take us both apart
 like a wave I play
 on the shores of him
 into sea shell ears
 I am blowing words
 just a song I heard
 in the woods part of when
 "you can take my body all apart
 and my apple heart
 it will grow again
 you can take these words
 in your lips two hands
 you can taste these words..."
