Unthunk - To Split Infinite Lyrics

Now I am complete
Pierced by my mate
Consequences ensue
Autonomy renounced
I am no longer whole
Split asunder
For domestic relief

Belly to the soil
Tremulous sprout
'Twixt fingers in close view
Seminal roots outspread
Grips loam for sustenance
Ripples fan out
Reduplicated leaf
Blooms into
A meadowland motif

Simple, solid earth
My livelihood and hearth
Unshakeable foundation
Is what its always been
But now its complicated
Husband, eager, dismantles the world
We mutually perceive

Lonely, whirling globe
Dead fragment flung through space
His contrasting view leaves me cold
Can we find truth between
That resolves our differences
His world: seething geologic skin
While that same pattern weaves
Veins of green
In folded cabbage leaves

My fecund vessel
Impregnated
Fulfils ancestral need
As mothers before me
I must now wend my way
Disintegrate
From garden, follow Eve

Slow, with reticence
Violation
Will make my body bleed
Never return home to
Curl safe in natal lap
Vast barren void
Compels me to receive
Crucial seed
Thus to my husband cleave

Unclench, virgin womb
Transform to fertile soil
Submit to dissolve our husk
Bid husband to unsheathe
Henceforth nothing more remains
Surrender to follow fortune's course
Beyond what we conceive

My flesh divided
Joins the procession
Release our issue into the light
To the cycle bequeath
By releasing, we connect
From soil to starlight, common essence
The source, I still believe
Lives beneath
The folded cabbage leaves
