Unfurl My Soul
February 1, 1993
Addie:
As I lay dying- descending into hell
I can hear them building the box
driving in the nails…
You cannot bathe me of my sins-oh no A matter of words just the same- salvation too
Don't try to save me - you can only forestall what must be Life is preparing to stay dead no shining light to see
Unfurl my soul…
Darl: I cannot love my mother- my mother is no more death a constant familiar- life its sullen core
She cannot be if she is was- oh no her eyes like two flames just blown out and I said, "Jewel, your mother is dead"
The odyssey continues her only wish to be fulfilled their motives are in question here despite what she has willed
Unfurl my soul…
You cannot bathe me of my sins-oh no A matter of words just the same- salvation too
Don't try to save me - you can only forestall what must be Life is preparing to stay dead no shining light to see
Unfurl my soul…
Darl: I cannot love my mother- my mother is no more death a constant familiar- life its sullen core
She cannot be if she is was- oh no her eyes like two flames just blown out and I said, "Jewel, your mother is dead"
The odyssey continues her only wish to be fulfilled their motives are in question here despite what she has willed
Unfurl my soul…
