Hold your breath
Lift your chin
Catch the rain on your mouth
Slow
Run the risk
Of missing this place
Breathe
Here in the woods
The rain
A tree
A meal
A love
A home
Tug my hand
Find a simple place
Be
Till the time
The comet comes on back
Here in the woods
The rain
A tree
A meal
A love
A home

Tidepools, tugging on moonlight
The end of the thread that pulled us here
Let's climb down there amongst the rocks
To hide with the life in momentary pools till high tide
Drown in the sea
Grab the cats let's go
You set the house on fire
I'll start the car
It's so close, make for the coast
Build us a seaworthy boat
Don't leave a note
She wants to breathe in water
My ocean's only daughter
We'll float above the grave
At last an end to thinking
All bliss the boat is sinking
As we slip beneath the waves
Undertow begs to let go
Drown all the things we think we know
The cats can hunt for fish
Pulled offshore, struggle no more
Holding our breath before the door
The simplest little wish
To hide with the life in the darkness oh please
Welcome me home
Tidepools, tugging on moonlight
The end of the thread that pulled us here
We'll climb down now amongst the rocks

under the lampblack

There on the porch
The storm it just roared
Soaking our arms
Chilling our skin
The limbs have come down
The roads are all drowned
Our bones they will bend
Our hearts they will mend
Now we could
Lay down our blades for good
Nothing can change
the fact that we lived
And no harm
Could fall on us disarmed
I float you
Under the lampblack
Pricked with starlight
After the rains have washed us
If when. body is broken
And memory stolen
Will water tell?
Scratching a line
In carbon and time
Tracing along
The voice may have gone
But there in the black
It’s perfectly trapped
Silent as space
A visible trace
All we lack
Are ways to play it back
Knowing the start
And how it is marked
[But] in your eyes
The sentiment survives
I’m with you
Within the lampblack
Pricked with starlight
After time has lost us
If then. Bodies are broken
And memories stolen
Water will tell

the damned future fools

Why oh why, oh why oh why
Is the hard ground so hard
When all we are is in the air
And I’m falling awake
If we could fall from such a height
With such a nudge, all it takes
Oh why oh why, oh why oh, why
I kindled a fire but it burned down the room
I stand in the coals and deny it’s my fault
Why oh why, oh why oh why
Do we take, do we take
From all of our days
So few remain, we had a well,
It was deep in the bones of the earth
You could have drowned in the hours, in all the days
You could have learned learned when you die
I have enough strength to hold up the walls
But I borrow all this from days yet to come
Here in the days that pass so impatiently
This is the light on the wall
To see that we steal the joy from all our yesterdays
We are the damned future fools
—
Why oh why, oh why oh I
Do I fear the next fall
And lie awake, terror tied
Always braced for the drop
The shock comes with such a force
It breaks the whole room
The roof cracks, the floors bend
Why oh why, of why oh I..
I wish that these walls would tumble and fall
And let the wolves in, come hell and come all
Here in the days that pass so impatiently
This is the light on the wall
To see that we steal the joy from all our yesterdays
We are the damned future fools
