During my adolescence
I made a most magical little discovery
In my bedroom: A loose floorboard
Hiding a cavity about as deep
And almost as wide as my arm
The discovery awakened in me
Something desperate and primal
For years, I acted like a beast preparing for hibernation
Squirreling away secrets for my ever-present winter

Is that where it all went? I lived in such emotional squalor
Despite my hoarded wealth
Thirteen was such a bloody year
Every rainfall was a tropical storm
Every heartbreak a head-on collision
I prayed but did not believe
Hungered and never ate
I hated and hate the joy of others

That old house was gutted this year
And with it went Pandora's jar
I knew it without knowing
The aim was true
A knife buried all the way to the hilt

I have never really known love
I have known only shadows
I have known fleeting whims
And flits of fancy
Impure attachments

No, that's not quite right
I have known one love, but
I did not call it love when first I saw it
I know again what I knew at ten
That I have the makings of a god
Life is so circular

Our bags are packed
We'll hit the road in five
I will find it all again
