Food for Worms

from For Once by Courtney Swain and Tim Doherty

/

lyrics

Winning was the easy part
Now we wait for the sun to sop up
Sorrow clinging to the spuds
A famine of the heart

Worm food making worm food

Black winds call the frost
Wiping names from the quiet block
Crushing leaves in a cup
We drink to the one truth we got

Worm food making worm food

Needle and a thread
Circle ‘round my head
Tossing in bed
Circles ‘round my head

Gnash the molars bite the moss
Return to the belly of the frost
Our slither-kin wait for us
In the forest bury our loss

Worm food making worm food
