Compass from Sandbox (Remixed) by Erik Voeks

Needlepoint, India ink
Drilled into your shoulder
Further south into your fingers
North into your hair
East around your back
And west is building up a slow moving front
West is everywhere

Words like water dripping
Down from her purple lips
Half of which I don't understand
Half of which I do
Would I be complete if I was
Ever bound unto your shadow
Trailing after you
Shirt tail caught up in your door jamb
Dragging after you

Half of which lies unexplained
The other half is true
Would I be complete if I was
Ever bound unto your shadow
Trailing after you
Shirt tail caught up in your door jamb
Dragging after you
Woken in the wash of your wake
Sailing after you.
