Strike A Match - Cassandra Wilson

Strike a match so I can see

If I’ve been down here before

Where is the floor?

What is it for?

Strike a pose

Imagining love and estatic applause

Suckling big parts

You are on task

Strike a vein so we can see

If it leaves some kind of mark

No, its too dark

It’s dark

Strike a tone for shadowing

Things that were meant to come true

Darker than blue

Older than you

Strike a match so I can see

If I’ve been down here before

Where is the floor?

What is it for?
