Diane Cluck - Casting About Lyrics
I was raised by hystericsbut the bed in my barracks afforded me views of the skyand so trained by the cloudsneither troubled nor loudi was calmed by their silence and sigh to let gocasting about with nothing to showwhen it rains on the barracksthe rains falls on bare backs of prisoners leaning through windowsfrom clouds drifting freestrewn and boundlessly unbotheredby which way the wind blows them alongcasting about and nothing is wrongwhen the body, the bones and the blood are all lightand water that flows from day into nightwhen the pull and the punctureare painless and brighti am herei am herein this life of hysterics, behold--simple lyrics !my mind complicates and entrapsbut like knotted necklaces yanked when you're recklesssome golden links fall in my lapskies from which i cowered bring forth only showersthat soften the stuck and the hardnow fingers drift outward from fists into flowersthat spring from the mud in the yardoh, let gocast me aboutthere is nothing to know
