Seems like you\u2019ve been gone for years
\nI\u2019m bored, irritated, flesh scratching soul
\nLike boiled wood, soul<\/p>\n

Like a cloud made of lead
\nIn a horizon that\u2019s fallen asleep and dreaming
\nIt can\u2019t raise its head.<\/p>\n

I lie in the dark, a bottle of wine
\nThat might be vinegar
\nBy the time you taste it,<\/p>\n

Waiting for you to break me open
\nAnd take whatever\u2019s left,
\nMy body, my fragrance, my chains<\/p>\n

Of sugars and acids, my notes
\nOf half-remembered summers, oaks, vanillas,
\nFingers of sunlight probing forests,<\/p>\n

My finish that will linger
\nIn your mouth
\nAfter you\u2019ve drained my dregs.<\/p>\n

This psalm is connected to Psalm 38 for two reasons. The first is the way that the imagery pulls on the senses. Here the sense of smell is evoked; in Psalm 38 it says \u201cMy wounds have oozed forth and putrefied [my flesh]…\u201d The image there is so visually repulsive, and the wording calls forth the sense of sight. The second connection is the idea of something going bad, like wine to vinegar or a wound rotting and oozing.<\/em> <\/p>\n
