“Infinitely bright and warm, I quicken my breath and release, and expand, and the truth burns away the belief that my fear and my nothingness will catch me; nothing can cushion this. So given, so revoked–so taken, the ‘me’ and the ‘you’ away; I’m a light, I’m aloft as my back is an arch. I’m here, I’m perfectly alone.”
A revised verse, in light of events leading up to its recording.
