about

lyrics

the spirit of the beehive
is not one of industry or repetition
it’s a moving and electrical stained-glass window
ultraviolet and polarized
lamenting unknown redness
where vision comes through on a sliding scale

forested forever for you
connective trajectory
a point of bursting light
moving from branch to branch to cradling arms
canopy wagging hips and waving wings
above and below
oh, such a pretty picture
such a cascade of greenness

a fixture in my dreaming lands
press shoe after shoe
on carefully-placed stones
on moss or stairways
or soft april earth
because you’re my favorite
windy-haired and gracious
face and limbs and vocal inflections
at play with and in motion through
endless days that frame you so
violetness, you’re a photograph wherever you go

one more song
one more time
across endless, separate skies
living winter and autumn (and those other seasons)
on the largest, roundest possible scale
stretch a neck to see the curve
tap a toe to keep time
one more song
whiteness of a pierced cloud
a never-falling angel
a heart as strong as the wind
from the heart of the land
stretching forever north from here
touch the whiteness of a pierced cloud

stain the panes of any sunset you like
and tell me a story
in addition to the sunset
it’s warm here within your glance
we’re somewhere somewhere summer hot

funny little forever
i want to hold your hand
contemplate your wingspan
fall through your best clouds
and land in the land where you live
every path that you and i
ever walked
is a winding, humming strand of light
all that’s maintaining the shape and altitude of the terrain
spreading out from all of our first steps outside
have you noticed how the light changes
with each crossing of the threshold?

stay inside of any sunset you like
rosy and lavender
alchemical and well-hydrated
plurale tantum, count the stars
we’re somewhere somewhere somewhere else
uncountable
somewhere somewhere else

so scared of running out of breaths
and rain and rain and rain
that time (which is not profound and must not be respected)
rears up
(roars up, tears up)
unexpected, and ruins our good time
and what innocence we had
was lost to
this interjection
this realization
that wind
and heat and heat and heat
and this feeling
cannot be contained, preserved or persuaded
but i’ll keep coming
and singing
and going and going and going
and
and
and
incandescing for as long as this one lasts
for as long as incandescing lasts
as long as incandescing
incandescing
