Black Gestures Lyrics

Album: Douve

The arm that is lifted and the arm that is turned

Are simultaneous only for our dull heads,

But these sheets of greenness and mud thrown back,

Nothing remains except a fire in death’s kingdom.

The dismantled leg pierced by the strong wind

Driving heads of rain before it

Will light you only to the threshold of this kingdom,

Gestures of Douve, gestures already slower, black gestures.
