Atalanta
You be the charge, I’ll be the ground
Atalanta
You be the light, I’ll be the sound
Atalanta
Now show me all you’ve never shared
Atalanta
And I’ll pretend I was prepared
And I swear I’ll never be the one to say
That you should put your fists away
And hold your breath another day
And you swear you’ll never reach the obvious
Verdict about all of us
And the worth of all our trust
And in my mind I see us:
Broken hearts and broken hands,
Set against a broken land
Where mountains loom like ghostly wounds
But somehow I feel a comeback coming on

You can’t take him down
He’s all around
With no way out
And you can’t remember how
That other world made sense
And everything weighed less
But you can’t and you won’t so you keep on waiting
When you tell me
You’d never forgive yourself
Well you tell me
You’re under an awful spell
More than any ancient question, I wonder
If you remember your intention, from underneath?
You built this home
It’s what you know
It’s all you own
And you live there all alone
Together in silence
The echo of violence
That never leaves
And you can’t and you won’t and you keep on waiting
When you tell me
You’d never forgive yourself
Well you tell me
You’re under an awful spell
More than any ancient question, I wonder
If you remember your intention, from underneath?
Cus it’s a bright and cold December, and the untracked snow
Whispers lightly to surrender and come back home
Take your grandfather’s ring and your cup of stars
Skeleton heart slipping through the bars
Let the trees hold up the sky
With the snow in your face, your arm in a brace
Feeling your feet falling into place
Let the trees remember why
As they watch you rise

The Sleeping Porch

When you came into my room
We came to the unexpected truth
We knew we were through
It’s nothing new, nothing we can’t bear
Just need you, don’t need you to care
I swear it’s true, there’s nothing there
And you tell yourself you never were
Deceive yourself at every turn
What’s good is gone for now
It’s everywhere somehow
And I don’t pretend to know what it’s about anymore
Before the years
Before the waking light
You’re in my ears
The sleeping porch at night
And all my fears turn beautiful in flight
And you tell yourself you never were
Deceive yourself at every turn
What’s good is gone for now
It’s everywhere somehow
And I don’t pretend to know what it’s about anymore

New Name

You take my breath
You take my words
And in their place
The sound I heard
Was ringing night
And swooping birds
The darkness bright
The quiet stirred
You set the hook
In my spine
In my heart
And in my mind
The sleeping barb
The singing line
The creeping weight
I call it mine
In the fall
There’s a call
It’s been now more than ever fucking forever
And I can’t breathe and you can’t sleep and we can’t drown
And there’s a voice singing sweet, singing surrender
Making peace, falling deep, and falling down
Under foot
And under time
Overgrown
With jealous vines
I saw a shape
Familiar lines
Was it a name
And was it mine?
In the fall
There’s a call
It’s been now more than ever fucking forever
And I can’t breathe and you can’t sleep and we can’t drown
And there’s a voice singing sweet, singing surrender
Making peace, falling deep, and falling down
Render my new name
With a holy flame

Feral Kind

I talk tame, literate and lame
Token truths
Fast flame, innocent of names
Is that you?
And it was all you wanted but never said out loud
And it made you proud
To lend your endless heart
Forever fall apart
And do it again
Who knew, scatterbrained gumshoe
That I am
Could come through with all of your little clues
In my hands
And it was all I wanted but never said out loud
And it made me proud
To lend my endless heart
Forever fall apart
And do it again
It’s a feral kind
It’s yours and mine
This blur of limbs and lines
It’s a fleeting force
It’s mine and yours
And there’s no letting it indoors

Too much has happened
Too much has been revealed
And I came to see you as a part of me
Lifted my eyes
And that’s when the water rushed inside
My great good fortune
My piece of providence
Was to stumble in blind
Cus I had never seen a thing like you
A thing like your mind
The willowing world where we would find
Our place to hide
I always saw you in a separate scene
Willing wonders never-endingly
Breaking, pounding, fearsome as the sea
And every bolt was beautiful to me
With strange emotions ringing out in me
Under the bower of night
I reignite our summer terror
Summer reverie
A season alive
With all our plans and all our time
The fragile fiction of our lives
And somewhere deep within my mind
I wondered whether you’d survive
I always knew I’d someday live to see
You unafraid and living wild and free
Burning brightly ‘cross the midnight sea
Spinning softly in the flowering trees
