Her

I am on the floor
I am in my kitchen
This place is so familiar
On my knees

I can hear the foot-steps
I can see their back walking out
I don’t know who to reach for
When I need

And so I pray to Her today
And I ask for mercy and I beg for pauses
Oooh

She’s coming in warm all like Elais
And coursing through my veins like liquid Mary

She’s not buying my shell
She sees right through my armor
She lingers in my shadows knowingly

She treats them like they’re angels
And maybe they are angels, really
She beckons me to braver inquiry

And so I pray to Her today
I ask for mercy and I beg for patience
Oooh

She’s coming in hot all like Chakti
And coursing through my veins like liquid Mary

And even though she knows me well
It doesn’t mean it’s easy to pull me out of my self-imposed Hell

She knows all of my secrets
When I’m out of my body
I’m starting to see outlines of her face

She follows me when I run away
And even when I cut her off
She still says that she loves me
Come what may

And so I pray to Her today
I ask for mercy and I beg for pauses
Oooh

She’s coming in hot like Elais
And coursing through my veins like liquid Mary
