Untie the Knots


Untie the knots in your head.
Untie the knots in your stomach.
Untie the knots in your joints.
Untie the knots in your heart.

No matter what happens,
you will be okay.
Even in the greatest pain,
you will be okay.

    Oh whippoorwill
    Earth is the body
    We inhabit

    Subject to decay
    No matter the will
    Oh whippoorwill

    No matter where we
    Flock oh whippoorwill
    Home calls us back

    Implacable hate
    From whoever embraces
    Death as part of place

    Stares us down and plants
    Bombs to take us
    Down oh whippoorwill

    We who inhabit joy
    And psalms oh whippoorwill
    Cannot untie this knot

    Against implacable
    Night oh whippoorwill
    Forgiveness will not help
