about

From "An Eloquence of Time and Space".

lyrics

1.1 An Unearthly Child

She was so distant
like hands and inch from holding
her gaze on the circumference of molecules
and the voodoo of Circe
wrapped up in her palm
only almost in contact
like a fiber selected off a cloth for analysis
or witchcraft

she hurtled through my birth and death
and chuckled at my protoplasm
taking lunch with Darwin
and tea with Moses
on a casual Sunday and tomorrow

she slipped through our fingers
unable to be grasped/out of reach
but never once out of time
