when i walk out of the museum - mount eerie lyrics
when i walk out of the museum
the wall of sudden light makes me crinkle up my nose
standing coat half on between marble columns
i sneeze into the wind
when i walk out of the museum
i have centuries of dust behind my eyes
i hunch a little bit
from the culminated weight of all these other peoples’ ideas
i see a tipped over garbage can blowing in the street
when i walk out of the museum
i think about a snorkeler surfacing tangled in kelp
that is me: writhing, wild attention, glancing around
the huge museum door slams behind me
and i flinch
in all of these brief flashes of momentary clarity
the emptiness that cuts through
is like a bowl beneath the sky
empty, not yet pregnant
fertile, without form
it terrifies me, the raw possibility
i want to go back inside
but when i walk out of the museum
everything i see seems rippling and alive
on a freezing january day
everything:
the museum
the garbage
the internet
the constellations
all collapse into a heap
light floods out
from this compost pile
