Black Oak, The Black Atlantic & I Am Oak a dirge

Howled into the wind
An unfurling of words stowed away
Time lapses into the dusk as I sit alone
Now I know how you must have felt
Without senses
I'll make my bed underground
Where I can smell the dirt
And I'll dream of leaves
And the writhing of worms in the earth
Now I know how you must have felt
Without senses
Though I'm none the wiser
I feel so much lighter
And well
Now I know how you must have felt
Now I know how to roam the dark
I can feel the night slowly growing longer
As I spend these days alone and undercover
I am who I am
Knowing I am who I am
