He crawled out of the ground with sticks inn his mouth
feathers worn off
covered in mud his suit was ruined
red clay stains
he stood on an oak tree to give his oration
chewing on pennies spitting out nails
the audience was shy ears full of molasses
sickly sweet
come on darlin'
called up to the gods lift up the rocks
raise em to heaven
pounded the breath right out of the table
lovely bones
turned the rocks to sand with his bare hands
hold on tightly
the sky split open he knew not why
you're not alone
come on darlin'
I came here today to declare my devotion
I came here today to state my case
If there's any among you in all of creation
got a reason to doubt me say it now
come on darlin'
