Mola Mola 02:06
lyrics
download
Grief in its waves Tidepools that stay Long after each Tide pulls away Trapped by the moon Snug in the cage And when the grief comes Foam-first upon Our still, little sea Still prisoners we Are sunk by the thought That we could swim free Red-eyed, We’re the shape of what’s holding us Red-eyed, We’re the shape of what’s holding us As big or small As the space we have As big or small as The space we don’t

Up The Bones 02:17
lyrics
download
New life Tendrils squeezing Up through bleached-out bones Upright in their last stretch Toward a source of light Roots tap The bits of marrow Shipwrecked deep inside Red the leaves that grow Red the leaves that fall
3.
Rider 01:17
lyrics
Rider On a perilous, exitless Route around The wide earth The wilderness The violence that slithers out I know what you know Don't forget it
4.
Three At Sea 04:49
lyrics
Three at sea Uneasily A deep black eye on me Waves that shook the blood in me Hours stuck in time Dark grays and light grays On the birds and breakers In the clouds, in the air That brined our cheeks Dark grays and light grays Overhead and underfoot Your voice the waves as they splash Your words the men as they smirk Floating in hazy space Stomachs in our throats Water in our shoes Shipwrecks-to-be, laughing hard Treasures-to-be on our way down, Locked in chests
5.
The Cut 02:35
lyrics
Black of the eye Back of the throat Down to guts The world flutters in Still in its spin Spilling seas and mountains Soft of the cut Curve of the scar settling A story in skin And new portholes in Come on the wind Leave in breath Black of the eye Back of the throat Words and food Bent in a wreath A ring in the reeds Between the heart and the teeth Soft of the cut Curve of the scar On my head Blood on the towel What’s in is now Flooding endlessly out
6.
I Was Gone 02:00
lyrics
Come a long, loaded stare that got teary Come a low rattle in the night Come the heat from a skull that was burning Come a word that didn’t fit right I was gone I was gone but their hands pulled me back in All at once, all at once, all at once And their feet left a trail zigzaggin’ Through the wormholes and noise Through the orbiting ice Through the deep brown-black terra firma Even as it all came apart And their smiles were the stars beaming down on The tops of my toes and the tips of the trees swaying low I’m a hole filling up with that light Satellites At such heights Seem so slight As they go over
7.
Daughter's Tooth 03:06
lyrics
Baby tooth, bloody root, pixie dust Polka-dotted balloons Serious, luminous, chrysalis Breathed in the wishes that filled the room Wet-winged and wild-eyed No math to make the way Any less steep or winding Or full of dread A change in her, a change in me, tectonically Disassemble and reemerge A change in her, a change in me A mutant gene rattling in the works Hold out the hand Hold back the love
8.
Bones & Grass & Leaves 01:50
lyrics
Dirt-brown, old leaf-brown Babies in the brittle grass Thought it might keep you still Jokes worm underground Grow two when one is halved Thought it might make you laugh Two holes in the hill Three down in the valley floor Thought it might get you to stay Two holes in the skull Where birds breeze through on sunny days Thought it might light you up Stone on stone Name by name Hand in hand Pavement path Little feet Leaves all land
9.
Machines At Rest 01:49
lyrics
Under a rain jacket hood Paper like volcano ash And the hum of fans and truck motors Foot up on the slab Paper like volcano ash Machines at rest Machines crash by All in the lines along her neck The sun will set The rain will pour The paper falls
10.
Telescopic 01:59
lyrics
fear as we do silences and such bruised as we are and sensitive to touch loved the light but lit up way too much faint as i am in telescopic view tug the tether, bring me back to you.
11.
Shoot 01:37
lyrics
the long fall, the longed for, the sour sprawl that hatched me the pinched cord, the plunge toward the new world that framed me the green shoot, the tooth root, the wet boot that cooled me the deep kiss when sleepless, her back pressed against me
12.
Teeth For The Breaking 02:06
lyrics
From there, was infinite Now here, an end to it A gamble and a guess From lack to less A phantom tenderness From there, was poised to jump Now here, land in a lump Hearts barely fit to thump But lub and dub and lub and carry on After there’s nothing left To pump the blood into Or branch the veins in two For each of the halves we knew From there, was infinite Now here, an end to it Now here, the steely pit We break all our teeth on
13.
Saturn's Ring 01:51
lyrics
Hex in the blood Fin in the water Secrets in shells Mother and daughter Our own Saturn’s ring Old ice in orbit Unshakeable as The fire coming for it, For us
14.
Fall Away 03:56
lyrics
Suns all burst Stars implode Cells all split and fall away And on the rain-wet road We burst Eyes all pop and fall away She stops the car She shoots a storm All up the hill and down The valley deep and drowned Repurpose every fin Climb out, begin again
15.
Fossil Flow 03:15
lyrics
Tendons and heart strings Tie us to the bone, The strange shapes Our lives take When they’re draped Just so, And no bloom And no rot Reroute the fossil flow A long drive A low road A beer that flattened slow Elbows on the bar top Ghosts in the fossil flow A stiff sheet A blanket And morphine taking hold Who holds you, who knows you In the deep, dark fossil flow? A death roll In the doorway An arrow and a bow Take aim, take everything But take in that fossil flow Faintly, Fairly, Finally, Family Way down
