Spread from here and engulf the world
teach me of the joy and risk
i see you in the dim light
ticket in your hand
and the course of my life
thousands of miles
set me here among the dust and stones
mined from the depths of the earth
through my fingertips and palm-flats
the trade enters my body
the reason I have come
the function I serve
the lies
and distractions
crown jewels
or a pall-bearer’s rings
your words are on me like a fuel
and I want to strike the flint
cover me completely
spread from here and engulf the world.
