The Moan - Mount Eerie

In the night

After the bats come out

I hear your howling

I know no one and

I hold nothing (now that I know you)

This is how we howl

In the dark night on the unlit trail there’s no way

Through but to crawl

Perplexed by the world around me there’s no way

Through but to surrender my body completely

To you

To be eaten, to be gnawed

To fulfill the pregnant night

And then to be born in the mornings

(to be quiet)
