Anathallo - Noni's Field Lyrics
When I closed my eyes in Noni's fieldWe were lying on our backs.I dreamt that the ground splits a seam,…our spirits, floating.When no longer tied into our bodies,We left them (wrapping)As a sign, to slip into the crack.Tired and ready to go.But I don't know what goes on.I touched my grandfather's face,He lay fixed in his casket.He lay sewn shut and foldedSo that none could refuse it.They had posed, they had painted him.I laughed. I let him go.His cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.I could never put my hands back to them.Still, I don't know what goes on.Will my thoughts burn in unseen patterns?Form a dim glow in your mind,Long after you remember who it was that I looked like?We saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.An accidental constellation.You, how will you go?Out through your mouth in a sigh?Into a space we don't know.
