[00:04.03]My sanctum
[00:07.34]My cave of vine and moss
[00:09.40]Is to my right about ten paces into the thicket that surrounds me now
[00:14.85]So dense grows the swampland that sometimes it would take me up to 30 minutes
[00:20.07]To find the little hideaway I had fashioned
[00:22.74]Though I had been there hundreds and hundreds of times
[00:27.56]I would look for the strips of white sheet
[00:30.17]Bright like bush ghosts that hung along the woven walls
[00:34.45]They would tell me where
[00:37.78]All about me were my treasures
[00:39.80]The stained bandages like flags
[00:43.05]Boxes of nails and tacks
[00:45.67]A crate of electrical cord, my hammer
[00:49.47]Candles and plastic bags full of matches and tapers from the church
[00:54.30]My Bibles
[00:55.37]Twine
[00:56.51]Animal boxes and feathers and bird skulls
[01:00.05]Shells and nests and some of my shoeboxes, about ten
[01:05.84]Pictures I had cut from magazines and threaded through the walls
[01:10.30]The tiny blue glass bottles of scented water
[01:15.63]And with these, I kept my life trophies
[01:19.14]My God tokens, the parts of her left behind, the blood mementos
[01:25.90]The whore's hair, her nightdress
[01:29.69]The portrait of Cosey that I had delivered
[01:31.89]From the hands of those who rose up against her
[01:35.09]Sheared her, cast her out
[01:38.39]The kinder graph and the instructions she had written on the back of it in verse
[01:44.03]The painting of Beth, of her fastened to the walls and ceiling of the grotto
[01:49.69]Angled so that it hovered above me as I lay in my shell
[01:55.26]On a carpet of pink silk and frill, yes
[01:58.92]And the ten pearl buttons leaving their evanescent impression down my back or belly
[02:05.07]The stroke of hair, a ruby bead sailing down a yellow strand
[02:11.27]A trembling scarlet drop the bittersweet sip
[02:15.70]Oh, the lifetimes lost in queer congress, holed up in that dark retreat
[02:21.21]Holed up in that dark retreat
[02:23.62]Holed up in that dark retreat
[02:29.14]A felled tree trunk, carved down the middle by a cleaver of lightning
[02:33.33]During the rain days, I guess
[02:35.67]Made a kind of a pallet where I would lie stretched out
[02:38.57]Between the two halves that I had padded with cardboard and moss
[02:42.63]Encapsulated by two walls of umbrage
[02:45.33]That twisted about a few clapboards, I had nailed to the trunks as supports
[02:50.15]The vines intertwining overhead to form a low ceiling
[02:55.35]I could sit up with a full foot's grace
[02:58.31]Room enough for my angel, too
[03:00.28]Who would come in my later years
[03:03.01]Appear on the tree stump at the foot of my cocoon
[03:06.37]Then come inside and lie with me
[03:11.50]♪
[03:16.40]Sometimes I heard thousands of voices, for God is many-tongued
[03:21.90]Whispering things to me as I lay there all alone
[03:25.53]All my feelings of fear and of anger and of despair
[03:29.13]That I ate daily like bread would leave me
[03:31.61]And I would feel most powerful
[03:34.32]Most powerful
[03:36.41]They taught me
[03:38.17]He taught me how to deal with myself at first
[03:43.16]Then later he taught me how to deal with the others
