a stirring - harrison lemke lyrics

Loading...

supper is past, presents litter the floor
torn paper crowds the tree
the kids are all upstairs playing nintendo
or downstairs watching tv

last pieces of pie are now settling sluggishly;
a dying fire spills stifling heat
tree*lights fan out under half*open eyelids
heavy & ready for sleep

but lo!
without warning
through small*talk & tv drone & some syrupy radio tune
an emptiness, descending
like an angel on frigid wings, lucid and piercing and true
and we find ourselves stirred

and in dim sleepy satedness some holy missingness
awakens at the center of everything
for though we ate all we wanted and got what we asked for
we’re wanting

more pointed and painful now with nothing interposing
we’re wanting
