album art for the debut ep by “the here and now”
Drift
Who breaks away
In forgetting that there
are two untouchables born
every time touching you
becomes a taboo.
For I become one too.
Like the side of the glacier that
has thawed too soon from the
rest of the mass,
So thaws a part of me, too soon.
And wrenches away.
Who breaks away
and measures how great
is the fissure that remains,
for it will take looking back.
In acquitting oneself from the whole,
two untouchables are born -
But who shall grab your ankles
and help you wrench away
From the drifting two?
For I become one too.
