I Saw Two Hands Lyrics by Quodia

The Arrow: A Story In Seven Parts

2008

I saw a cave opening
high up on the wall.
For days and days I climbed,
and when I got close,
I could hear movement,
movement inside.
The entrance looked flat and shut.
But when I got closer, it opened to me.
I saw two hands,
working.
They were working on the outside
with wood -
sticks of wood -
cutting them, trimming them,
making them smooth and straight.
But they were also working on the inside.
It was as if each hand
had another hand inside of it;
an inside hand.
And this inside hand
worked and shaped an inner power
as the outside hand worked the wood.
One hand was rough,
calloused,
hardened.
it chose the sticks,
and bent and broke the wood as needed.
The other hand moved quickly;
picking up a tool,
cutting and trimming the tail.
It was soft, that hand.
it would feel up and down the wood,
removing splinters and making it smooth.
I took a step forward
and loosened a rock that fell.
From there, a blue fluid began to trickle out,
staining the floor of the cave.
One hand stopped working for a moment
while the other kept going.
The hard, calloused hand was nicked by the blade,
and a shiny drop of blood oozed out and landed on the point.
