Better or Worse

Heaven calling

Your maiden name through the howling

Flooding plain

Where you buried

Your hooden horse

After betrayal

Before divorce

Handbells

Wait to chime

The day you both come back to life

It gets better

It gets worse

It's a blessing

And it's a curse

What is It?

Is it yours to say?

You're going to know once it's taken away

And the ever and after sings

Through the July Leucocoryne

"Power forgot

Ain't power lost"

So nail your Brigid cross to the door

Sun, rain

Soil, air

Into the arms

Hey, yes, you beyond repair

It gets better

It gets worse

It's a blessing

Oh it's a curse

What is It?

Is it yours to say?

You're going to know once it's taken away

It gets better

It gets worse

Now step your wounded foot first

Trace to the sky

My painter's brush

When the wild winds around you rush

You can't break a vow

You don't want to take

But how far can the willow bend before it breaks, boy

Hmm

Hmm

For better or worse?

Hmmm

It gets better

It gets worse

It's a blessing

It's a curse

What is It?

Is it yours to say?

You'll know when it's taken away

I hurl this hex out to Lomea
