oh look here,
this is it
a small flower on a branch, a bee lands inside of it
its face opens up, and out of it
its sleek tongue slips
to drink the nectar
from that strange black structure
and we don't understand
we don't understand at all.
we don't understand,
but we know a bit.
so take it out,
take the basement out
it's not about, not about the walls
its where the walls are found
so bring them down
i dont want the windows or the hardwood floors
i want so much, want so much more
give me the sand
dig me a den
c'mon,
use your hands.

good bonfire

there was a moment when
i must have stopped listening
i couldn't hear it at all
it must have stopped
i must have stopped
i wanted to
oh, that pretty sound
oh, that pretty
oh, that pretty sound
oh, that pretty
oh, be a good bonfire
when you do something
burn yourself up completely
like oh
like oh
and oh, i was not that finger-bone bowed
i was not the sleet the snow
it was something more
it was cold
and oh, when you do something
be a good bonfire
burn yourself up completely
like oh
like

grandmother

when she went away
its cuz her body grew to frail
her bright heart
shining through her pale skin
oh our hearts are beating
and those beats are fleeting little things
and we are shocked
by how deflatable
the things we thought were solid are
it's just a vessel or something
it was just holding something
more
in the hospital i held your hand
the hardest part the space between
steady breath and its leaving
it is a pale thing
and oh
it is hard to be good
all of the time
it is hard
but oh
it is only a little while
but oh
it is only a while
oh our hearts are beating
oh our hearts are beating
oh our hearts are beating
and those beats are fleeting little things.
