i was doing something - philip glass lyrics

i was doing something
i don’t remember what
i was standing in a place
i don’t remember where
i was waiting for someone
but i don’t remember who
it was before or it was after
i don’t remember when
then suddenly or gradually
i was removed. i was taken
to this place of reversal
and i was separated
and in the place of every part
there was the name of fear
and for a vast memorial
there was the name of grief

if you know the prayer
for one who has been so dislocated
please say it or sing it
and if there is among the words
an empty sp*ce or among the letters
an orchard of return
please say my name firmly there
with a voice or hand
which only you command
you righteous ones
who are concerned with such matters
but hurry please
for all the parts of me
that gathered briefly around this plea
are dispersed again
and scattered on the other side
where the angels stand upside down
and everything is covered with dust
and everyone burns with shame

and no one is allowed to cry out

- philip glass lyrics
