Even Born Again - Sarah Jaffe

I’m testament to old and new

There’s a thin red river running through

And my eyes are like this golden gates

Holding testament to each love we face

Even born again

The world over the world begun

Let us prostitute our mouths for fun

Be easy with your words and truth

If I’m lost with God I’m lost with you

I’m even born again

The rain had come to make it new

To clear our minds from all the dew

The sky was watercolor thin

And our mouths were open wide

I’m even born again

Pink and orange and blue and white

I remember what the sky looked like

I remember how your face looked too

That was perfection

Even born again

We’re all orphans

I think our hearts just feed

And when death (dies to us?)

It becomes this deed

And I would gladly die for you

Selfishly but willingly

I’m even born again
