Loop de Noose
by James Brown
Why do you call me sir
Am I he
Am I not the one who gives hope
Your seed toils within my soil
Do you not harvest my womb
The fruit I bear pulls heavily against my breast
You have taken my supple bounty, as a child
Have you hidden me in shame
You are not my whore
You cover yourself
As if I would steal the salt from your wound
Scarred and moaning
Mother prays to you
Why do you not return
I lay in wait for your kiss, as a child
Have you left me alone
Father who art not inside me
Take freely of thine love
For you have given birth to me
I crawl from your embrace a savior
Mother, forgive me my nakedness
Given freely to your sword
For I have taken flesh inside, as a child
Have you placed upon me a sacrifice
Still you stand blind before me
Sickened with the knowledge you devour
Quivering as a virgin, willing, yet unable
To rise torn and pleasured in longing
I can offer none to you sir
You are barren
Your eyes searching for light, as a child
