LIKE A DRUM
Music by Caroline Shaw, Jason Treuting and Sō Percussion
Words by Emily Dickinson
I felt a Funeral, in my Brain,
And Mourners to and fro
Kept treading - treading, treading - till it seemed
That Sense was breaking through
And when they all were seated,
A Service, like a Drum -
Kept beating - beating, beating, beating, beating - till I thought
My mind was going numb -
And then I heard them lift a Box
And creak across my Soul
With those same Boots of Lead, again again again
Then Space - began to toll
As all the Heavens were a Bell,
And Being, but an Ear,
And I,
and Silence, some strange Race,
Wrecked, solitary, here -
And then a Plank in Reason, broke,
And I dropped down, and down, and down, and down -
And hit a World, at every plunge,
And Finished knowing - then -
