The Bluest Blade

Thrown up against the dying end of heaven
 Beating with the zero of my blood
 Home to see my baby coming home
 Falling like a stone or like a dove
 Hard as any stone brought down in wishes
 Bright as any flower made to bloom and blaze and
 Falling to the ground like China dishes
 Our love is only teaching us to fall
 Chorus:
 And I fall to you
 Down from here
 Like a shadow thrown
 Love the bluest blade
 Cuts deepest from the dark
 Of all we own
 Balanced on a sliver shot through the blacking
 Hung up as if by God's unreckoned string
 Brave enough for leaving brave enough
 For coming home with what my tiny heart can bring
 And I kissed onto the concrete from out of dreaming
 Pulled the ground against me like a shroud
 Fevered as a child my body burning
 Burning just to lay your body down
 Chorus
