Erica Jong - Mute Marriages lyrics

Mute marriages: the ten-ton block of ice obstructing the throat, the heart, the red filter of the liver, the clogged life. It is a glacier in which frozen children swim ground round with boulders, pebbles, bits of stone from other ice ages. Here a lapis glitters, here a shard of bottle gla**- valuables & junk: the history of a house told in its garbage cans, the history of a life in its nightmares. Speak the dream. Follow the red thread of the images. Defrost the glacier with the live heat of your breath, propelled by the heart's explosion.
