Hutterite flower
Silk and white in your slipper
Bindle basket holder
Dashboard alter adorner
Hutterite flower
Silk and white in your slipper
Fed by the empty bottles of our drive
You’ll be the thread to tie
The sweetness to the pain
My life to time again
Sweet sound sharp pain
Little needle suture stain
Reopen the badly healed
Find poetry again
I could not win her
Her beauty would only splinter
Through our needy hands
Petals fall like crystal sands
Leave her to the wind and to the rain
Sweet sound sharp pain
Little needle suture stain
Reopen the badly healed
Find poetry again
Hutterite flower
Silk and white in your slipper
Talisman for a tripper
Bindle basket holder
Dashboard alter adorner

Mabel
Mabel on the dark road wait until
The hazelwood woods are in bloom
And Mabel
Maybe you’re in my incense plumes
Only you only you
In my room
Only you only you
I’ve been talking sweet the willow st
But where would I be without you
One morning the light struck upon the wall
A painting of the window in the hall
You’d take it all oh take it all
Mabel
Another dry hot summer looms
And breaks outside my view
And maybe
Maybe you’ll come around again
And tell me how I’ve been
Since you went
I’m sorry for the words I said
Don’t know what I meant or what’s been in my head
I’ve been talking sweet the willow st
Oh message sent what is the sense
Of when we met oh when we met
Mabel
Our words are vessels for the spirit
Oh write it and I’ll read it
Mabel
Oh Mabel on the dark road wait until
The hazelwood woods are in bloom
In bloom

Robin's Egg Blue

Lai da dai
I’m so unwound
I didn’t mean to make you cry
Days like flashing colours
Set to flight
Bound with twine July
Years ago when spoken to
Evoked a word and wrote
And wrote
All that goes without saying
When the rooftop waits the boundary swaying
The eyes of one who knew the breaking
From the upstairs deck heard the sound
Of the wind taking the leaves down
Brother where’s the robin’s egg blue?
Lai da dai
I’m so unwound
I didn’t mean to make you cry
Stood where the calling sounded
With a full cup of good morning birds
And wishing for my twenty third
A walk and something unheard
But all that goes without saying
Love is old and always breaking
Nothing’s ever like the morning
From the upstairs deck heard the sound
Of the wind taking the leaves down
Brother where’s the robin’s egg blue?
Lai da dai
I’m so unwound
I didn’t mean to make you cry
But all that goes without saying
Love is old and always breaking
Nothing’s ever like the morning
From the upstairs deck heard the sound
Of the wind taking the leaves down
Brother where’s the robin’s egg blue?
Lai da dai
I’m so unwound
I didn’t mean to make you cry

Foghorn Song

Am I there again
In that misty pastureland
Light on your face burns fast
Away with the day
Is this truly your someone’s new home
Or just a glow far away
Are we all pulled carelessly up from the sea
What if it had been me
On the night of the foghorn song
Doghair lightborn
Berry bushes on the coast of our dreams
Cold air laced with steam
Almost blind to what could be
And only saved by sunrise’s reprise
Am I there again
On your sister’s southern strand
Run our fingers through the grasses
Speak of the secrets the lord throws as he passes
Do we all fall carelessly away with the day
What if it had been me
And what did your mama say
Where does life begin
I was given a home
And then I learned how to swim
What if we’d gone out on a limb
On the night of the foghorn song
Doghair lightborn
Berry bushes on the coast of our dreams
Cold air laced with steam
Almost blind to what could be
And only saved by sunrise’s reprise
Oh does your body ride a ship in time
Mine will never sail or find
Running rivers I will not ford
Passages some choose not to board
On the night of the foghorn song
Doghair lightborn
Berry bushes on the coast of our dreams
Cold air laced with steam
Almost blind to what could be
And only saved by sunrise’s reprise
