1. Not

   Lyrics: Not

   It's not the energy reeling
   Nor the lines in your face
   Nor the clouds on the ceiling
   Nor the clouds in space
   It's not the phone on the table
   Nor the bed in the earth
   Nor the bed in the stable
   Nor your stable words
   It's not the formless being
   Nor the cry in the air
   Nor the boy I'm seeing
   
   With her long black hair
   It's not the open weaving
   Nor the furnace glow
   Nor the blood of you bleeding
   As you try to let go
   
   It's not the room
   Not beginning
   Not the crowd
   Not winning
   Not the planet
   Not spinning
   Not a rouse
   Not heat
   Not the fire lapping up the creek
   Not food
   Not to eat
   
   Not the meat of your thigh
   Nor your spine tattoo
   Nor your shimmery eye
   Nor the wet of the dew
   It's not the warm illusion
   Nor the crack in the plate
   Nor the breath of confusion
   Nor the starkness of slate
   
   It's not the room
   Not beginning
   Not the crowd
   Not winning
   Not the planet
   Not spinning
   Not a rouse
   Not heat
   Not the fire lapping up the creek
   Not food
   Not to eat
   
   Not what you really wanted
   Nor the mess in your purse
   Nor the bed that is haunted
   With a blanket of thirst
   It's not the hunger revealing
   Nor the ricochet in the cave
   Nor the hand that is healing
   
   Nor the nameless grave
   
   It's not the room
   Not beginning
   Not the crowd
   Not winning
   Not the planet
   Not spinning
   Not a rouse
   Not heat
   Not the fire lapping up the creek
   Not food
   Not to eat
   Not to die
   Not dying
   Not to laugh
   Not lying
   Not the vacant wilderness vying
   Not the room
   Not beginning
   Not the crowd
   Not winning
   Not the planet
   Not spinning
