red sea

Is that it, then? We part like the red sea
“Let new energy in” and they snake their way -
through the dry seabed, leaving their pollution?

Then you’ll tell me we can go back to normal -
when I’m trapped in some disposed fish net
and blocking the sunlight for the reefs below me?

Watch the bubbles come up to the top -
and think I’m blowing you kisses?
You can part it without me
I’ll be an Egyptian

If I was your bondage, if I clipped your wings
Leave me behind, rolling in the blue deeps
Go ahead and take his body and his blood,
You'll be satisfied until you get scared and run
