White-washed stone, sinking sun
Hope, a hold, wound undone
Woe, regret, I lay down, she swallows me whole
Earth, she grows, a blanket of leaves, I go
Tending to these bones, a weight I’ve held too long
Creeps across the skin, a shattering of stone
I made it all this way, just to feel the same
The only way I stay, a heart, a branch, a home
Out of breath, maybe I’m just scared to be alone
This bitterness, punctuates my words it’s all I know
Out of breath, the body a canvas for roots to grow
Time of rest, maybe I’ve been spared for blooms to show
Out of breath, body a canvas for roots to grow
Time of rest, tending to this garden of my own

Cedar

Up, up, up the mountain
Corridors of light, we went on through
Where are you going, what’s there to fear when
Cedar sings, a map we never knew
The arms of green we fell into
Down, down, down the mountain
I’m not sure we got much more to lose
Where are you heading, what do you fear when
Nothing ‘tween us, the sky and moon
And I hold, hold my breath,
I’m waiting out, for the best parts of you
These coconuts won’t fill me up
And I don’t know how
To make it back, the way we came
The water runs, snake she suns
The night it comes in close
And I can feel, the shadows gain
Told me, we’d read the tides
A can of beans, a tarot creeps I nodded I played the fool
You told me, well we’d be fine
I eased on back, took my pack, oh I’m leaving with the morning dew
And I hold, hold my breath
The mountain, she’s the love I never knew
And I hold, hold my breath
When the path’s this tough, that’s all there’s left to do
And I hold, hold my breath
I’m leaving with the morning dew
And I hold, hold my breath
I’m leaving with the morning dew

Fall

Let the rain fall
Let the skies weep
Let the smoke climb
With you here, next to me
If I found a home, I’d take you there
If I found a way, ‘stead I’m falling down again
First light, first sight,
a stove-warmed cup
Birds are calling
Sun’s rising up
If I had a home, I’d take you there
If I found a way, ‘stead I’m falling down again
falling down again
Let the rain fall
Let the skies weep
Let the smoke climb
With you here, next to me

South

Way way south, where the tall limbs call
Fog hangs thick, and the weak light crawls
So old, it went quiet and so cold, you grew tired
Of a porch, that won’t see the sun
And these bones, so shaped for one
Darkness blinds, the wind she climbs
The branches between us silent
Nothing I could do, was ever going to change your mind
Darling, let it go, in counting your blessings light
Through the sheltering of trees, and the sweetness of sight
Held, all I was trying to believe, hoping you’d stay, hoping I’d find
A garden grown, a seedling’s hold,
A chance returning fades
Thistle’s hold, blackberry, stone,
The shape, of skin remade
Way way south, where the tall limbs call
Fog hangs thick, and the weak light calls
Grass grows, deep earth pliant,
The skin knows, surrendered, silent
