I can see you more clearly with the sun down
I can see you more clearly with the sun down
in the hour when the sun is blue and the water is black
Too early for the moonrise
Too late to count your toes
but you can feel them in the sand—so take a good guess
Try to wiggle them one at a time—and take a good guess
I can see you more clearly with the sun down
I can see you more clearly with the sun down

Song for a Fisherman
03:52
|
|||
|
Waves sculpt the stone
with which your hands rest, pressed against the walls of the sea
In the middle lives a whale
on the shore walks a man
Not unlike, not unlike each other
they sing through bone and skin
Water gods feed the water
schools and cerulean blue
Sculpt the stone!
Ancient stone
Deep as our hands drowned that summer in the Baltic Sea
Our feet, wet with rain
wet with rain
Song for a fisherman
There’s smoke on your lips
like a melody

To Shine You
03:51
|
|||
|
We keep on singing now with the lights out
like a band of fairies unfazed by the swings of human sorrow
So I take to the candles and the rhythm of breath
open up to the cosmos and welcome death
But it ain’t my time to enter the sun
A star in the sand forever young
Shine on you
These open corners flood with daylight
like a spring-fed cistern
carved from the stone and wood that burned down
So I take to the hillside and the rhythm of breath
Walk up to the apex and welcome death
But it ain’t my time to enter the sun
A star in the sand forever young
Shine on you

Mary where have you gone?
You brought your soft animal body along
If I’d known you’d depart so soon, I’d have wrote one for you
to tell you your words are stuck in the threads of my rugs
and smeared on the glass where your view from above
can see my young soul
Leonard I knew you’d be gone
well before Mary so I sung you a song
‘cause you drink like a shark and smoke like an ember
it’s not fair
but nor is our death day for those
who follow our tracks
‘cause we never look back
with wonder
so leave it to me
I’ll make it sound sweet
like you were a saint
not a fish out of water gasping for something to say

Apocalyptic Pelican
01:53
|
|||
|
Laying on the last gulf of sand I can sense the tide is creeping near
I clench my feet to anticipate the cold
Can I keep it all still while the salt engulfs my nap?
Is it meditation if I flinch?
Will the pelicans laugh?
Is it meditation if I flinch?
The westward wind gets the better of me so I move our camp up shore
and clear a bed from the dish like stones, drop a bag full of fruit and god else knows
What then, when we turn our back to the sea?
What’s next for me?

Cupboard of a Grand Fir
04:06
|
|||
|
To forgo a morning with the shore is a lost love
Why focus on the dark my garden charm hold me in your arms
I tasted soil this year from the cupboard of a Grand Fir on the west end
I wandered toward that dream
I rolled up my sleeves
and carved my bones like roots in the soil
burrowing through
waiting for you

Dark Side of You
03:15
|
|||
|
I can’t see the dark side of you
God forbid I trust the clues
Another shallow breath I can’t undo
If I believe every time I spit and swear to God
I would see the dark side of you
I promised I wouldn’t give you the satisfaction
of making this a song
But I find myself in the mountains
cutting all the ties and wishing I was wrong
I can’t see the dark side of you
God forbid I trust the clues
Another shallow breath I can’t undo
If I believe every time I spit and swear to God
I would see the dark side of you

Fate of Our Shadows
03:09
|
|||
|
Mist in the face so I can come down
It’s bottled up trees in a potion I found
I carry my weight in sound
as cold as it feels from the ground
The light on your cheek is a pink rosy mint
The last of the sunlight our fatherhood sent
Children of the sun repent
The fate of our shadows depend on
The fate of our shadows depend on
The fate of our shadows depend on
The fate of our shadows depend on

Half the Means
06:22
|
|||
|
Paired with a dream
you then have half the means to choose
Coming sooner than rage
I hope to repel to solitude
