Litany of Gathering Up

I constructed a strange mask

A strange mask

From the pieces of me

I reached into the black sky

I dug into the brown earth

And found a piece

And found a piece of me

I stretched into the yellow sun

And dived into the roaring sea

And found a piece

And found a piece of me

I

I

I was remade, oh Lord

I was remade, oh Lord

I was no longer me

I was the world

The world entire

I was remade, oh Lord

I was remade, oh Lord

I was no longer me

I went down

I went down

To the quarantined city

And found

And found a piece of me

I went down

I went down and made a new

A new and foreign body

And found

When I looked into the river

It was no longer me

I

I

I was remade, oh Lord

I was remade, oh Lord

I was no longer me

I was the world

The world entire

I was remade, oh Lord

I was remade, oh Lord

I was no longer me

I was the world

The world entire

I went down

I went down

To the quarantined city

And found

And found a piece of me

I went down

I went down and made a new

A new and foreign body

And found when I looked into the river

It was no longer me

I went down

I went down and made a new

A new and foreign body

And found

When I saw the crystal river

I was no longer me
