Needed Burning

lyrics

Meadow meets mountain
where mountain leans High
birds saying words go on
while light paints angled sky
where do they want
their words to go?
forwards or back?
oh winged saintly travelers
I will surround myself in their song
held rounded go round
in plastic but they'll flit out
swift and free
give me just enough
to go on stand and get on
it'll cut through sleep
but I don't mind.

for who am I without song?
and who are they without song?

waking and finding myself in their
room at the base of a mountain
I shall fall to soft knees
heart stopped up
and squeezing through
to get through to the mountains
mute center
I'll disappear crawling
half self
and dutifully cut
and while I'm folding and
rolling along
to hope for both song
and silence
self and the makings of fire
slim wood to start needed burning
split wood opening up to
pulsed blushing
but no shame
I'll release my story into that quick cool
and it'll settle somewhere lovely,
I know.
I'll visit it there sometime
I'll visit it there sometimes

Meadow meets mountain
where mountain leans high
birds saying words go on
birds saying words go on
birds saying words go on..
