she wets her fingers with her lips
and puts them into mine
I see heaven open up
I see my father sigh
there are birds outside
but they do not sing
they sit on the windowsill look inside
watch and wait expectantly
I push myself against her mango thighs
I rub my cheek onto her collarbone
and I cover up her eyes
and I wonder Nathanael
after your soul was laid bare
before you died a martyr’s death
and were caught up into the air
did you ever think of giving up
did you ever just not care
yeah I don't love this woman
but if I wanted to I could
but she would see my heart
and know that I'm no good
we finish making love
and I hold her in my arms
any tenderness or affections I had for her have come and gone
for this reason a man shall leave home
I fall asleep
naked and alone

It may not be a full-fledged LP, but All Delighted People is probably my favourite of Sufjan's works. Without an overaching album theme to tie the songs together, it felt like Sufjan was free to experiment on each track and give them their own unique sound. And because of that (and Sufjan's talent), every track on there is a standout track. Angkasawan
