Am i the sky or a bird?
“Dirt In The Ground” by Tom Waits
TESONNA AND THE ABDICATION DREAM
My name is Tesonna.
From my cloud,
I see the crowd.
Covered by guilt and shame
from those hoping for a promised land.
And drowned by their gifts;
the heavy lord that I am is worshiped;
while tears are on the verge of arising on my cheeks.
The Promised Land.
A far-away freedom,
a near-away sadness.
Embellished by gold and blood,
am I the best or the worst of those who created me?
Where is my dream?
Can I seek a star?
Where is my God?
Can I seek the light?
My name is Tesonna.
And sitting on this cloud,
I am waiting for this crowd
to set me free.
