Act one scene two


IN THE PALM OF YOUR HANDS

What seems to slip away I'll rescue
All that falls toward the ground watered
My herb and spices grown to salivate
Your words of captivity lets action speak

In the palm of your hands, come harvest
Freed and reset, give me mouth to mouth
Compressions to restore my ids lifeless sill
In the palm of your hands, taste your fruit

Take me to your secret place of secrets
Smooth me in cocoa butter under the sun
In the palm of your hands, breast to thighs
In the palm of your hands, heart and soul

What seems to slip away I'll arrest
All that hides in this womb to birth
My fertile earth toils for such cavalier
Open me up so I can hear the sights

In the palm of your hands juice and berry
Sugar from the root of trees tall as cane
Your strength puts me in song and dance
In the palm of your hands, squeezed juice

Take me to your secret place of secrets
Freed and reset, give me mouth to mouth
Compressions to restore my ids lifeless sill
In the palm of your hands, heart and soul


Slipping away
In the palm of your hands
Away, away
Slipping away

In the palm of your hands
Slipping away
Slipping away
In the palm of your hands
