Call Me Down

Something is screaming underneath my name

older than the silence I was born into

I have pressed my hands against the dark so long

the dark has started pressing back

I have nothing left to name you with

so come in

Will it stop if we go deeper

will the dark close warm around the bone

I have made a home in what consumes me whole

and I am not ready to leave

I have nothing left to name you with

so come in

I have knelt before what has no name

and held my arms out wide

I don't know what walks toward me

so I welcomed you in
