My love is blood My love is blood It burbles out in joy Between the cracks on these old hands Like weeds It won't wash off It's pumped and thrums Through callouses and scars My love is blood My joy is breath It pushes out in song Great blowers shove it through tunnels Such greed! It refuses to quiet Breathe in breathe out Through trysts and wars My joy is breath My song is life It storms from me It smashes down upon these keys Beethoven's fingers It won't let go Its endless chords and minors blast Through walls and stars My song is life
