Two Worlds
02:50
|
|||
|
knowing nothing, one teaches through love
knowing nothing, one teaches through terror
this small grain will be flesh
two worlds that surface seldom part
one is alone then
such a man strikes at the distance
the dog still rears its head in hearing
we are still snake bodies,
bellied in, hunger-stretched
i saw worlds coil in light
the heart of grass dense beneath me
i saw hands move about me
as the eye's blankness grew
knowing nothing, one teaches through love
knowing nothing, one teaches through terror

Was a Window Open?
02:20
|
|||
|
was a window open?
is a storm in the house?
let be, let be.
are there hands on the window?
let be, let be.
they're only branches lifting themselves
against the immensity
are there dreams beneath the bed?
let be, let be.
they're only airplanes made of glass and gold
moving like bees
they've forgotten how to speak after thousands of years
of sleeping in the earth
let be, let be.
was a window open?
is a storm in the house?
let be, let be.

Father Time
01:56
|
|||
|
father mine
father time
hands filtered
hands flattened
sweeping the floor
weeping the poor
not rooted in fits of love
and unfit to measure
nothing we hold gives us its name
we fall from time to time
i pray God forgive me
|

This I Have Chosen
02:07
|
|||
|
consider the world
consider the earth
sun's wintered chalks
piled and scattered
this i have chosen
this i have chosen
|

What Small Sky
01:48
|
|||
|
all the love you gave
all the words you said
like a tongue that summer had forgotten
bleeding, when the earth needs rain
never mind those games they're playing
darkening out what small sky's remaining

Lullaby M
01:40
|

|
When I knew you, you'd walked right out of darkness
When I said your name, we were children of the shadows.
When I knew you, you'd walked right out of darkness
When I said your name, we were children of the morning.

All the Love You Gave
02:19
|
|||
|
all the love you gave
all the love you gave
loosened the wall
the way home has fallen sad
all the love you gave,
shaking the wall

As The Child
01:09
|
|||
|
as the child grows,
grows, demands love,
gathers force
up the stairs hides
almost herself
the atmosphere above seems slower
not the hurry of guilt from below
driven less by desire than life
driven less by water than thirst
|
||||

Ah, Agressive Beasts
02:00
|
|||
|
on the roads we sat and wept
growing lighter with the loss of moisture
void, black and pulsing
ah, aggressive beasts
covered with a multitude of eyes
blanketing many fields, galloping
wedged in half-human formations
on edges of lakes
on fleshes of mountains,
the angels came
|
||||

Love and Death
02:11
|
|||
|
there were other signs
though
that death had wooed us
by water wooed us
by land, among the pines
an uncurled mouth lay swollen
rearing in polluted air
birth not death
is the hard loss
I know:
I also left a skin there
|
||||

The Pilgrim
01:11
|
|||
|
this you may have heard in the early night:
from under the wolves, the pilgrim comes
from under this skin in the morning light
you were walking the banks among the bones
the heart of the river was only a stone
|
||||

To Measure
03:06
|
|||
|
i must go with no other
to the land of little rain,
to the season of passing-
here you've buried me
dark and bitter it's become,
stumbling down the stairs,
our clothes undone
dashing like bulls
feet first from the pit
hands in and sensing the end
pausing beneath and lifting my head
|
||||
14. |
A Simple Beast
01:56
|
|||
|
a simple beast, here it lied
she loved too much in all her strength
stretched out and broken down
and now the rags fill my eyes
and in leaving I am undone
and in the end I'm not the lucky one
|
||||
15. |
By Beauty, By Loss
01:52
|
|||
|
a heaviness in front in back
you surrender yourself
to an instant of beauty
the old story goes on and on:
you were never anywhere
but here
I lose myself
I exaggerate
mine is the loss
|
||||
16. |
?
00:19
|
|||
|
was a window open?
is a storm in the house?
let be
let believe

Less by Desire
01:15
|
|||
|
as the child grows,
grows, demands love,
gathers force
up the stairs hides
almost herself
the atmosphere above seems slower
not the hurry of guilt from below
driven less by water than thirst
driven less by desire than life
|

Often of My Birds
01:18
|
|||
|
often of my orchards
often of my birds
wintering with bruises
given me to reflect
often of my morning
often of my night
wintering with bruises
given me to silence
often of my orchards
often my birds
|

After All
00:58
|
|||
|
and in the end it's
all a dream
after the fall
we're safe again
