The Erotics of Healing

from West Coast Cities by Bill White

/

lyrics

ambigous feelings
the erotics of healing
pleasure and paina
love and disdain

pieces of shape
arrangement excites
sleep when awake
no sleep tonight

hard to discern
the nature of feeling
sickness confused
in erotics of healing

hands press
on the abdomen
fingers in the wound
the knife is quick
its scarlet path
the crescent of a moon

i still dont know what happened
was i asleep or was it real?
did i die in the lost time moment
or did i step aside to heal

hard to discern
the nature of feeling
sickness confused
in erotics of healing

sometimes its best to acquiesce
sometimes its just a big bloody mess
sometimes fight against it
like cold against heat
or lie like dead,a piece of meat
ready for the carving
and hope the surgeon is not starving
