It gets colder
and the curve
of the sun
Dips lower and lower
on the horizon
My sense of time
is skewed
Slow it down
turn my gaze inward
She peeks her head out
from behind the plaintive shadows
She cries, she whispers
Her beak tip breaks on the mountain tops
It gets colder
and I've forgotten myself
Left her behind
and now she is lost
Enveloped in darkness
Cleansing darkness
Spitting me out whole
Complete
She peeks her head out
from behind the plaintive shadows
She cries, she whispers
Her beak tip breaks on the mountain tops
Her feet dig firmly into the packed dirt
Stampeded and trampled over
centuries
I'll bring my animal hooves
and you can bring your wisdom
Lets make a collision
on the floor
Is it an ocean of sound?
Of movements
and layers
with no beginning and no ending
Waving from high position
Postulating, undulating, celebrating
Rocking me
Rocking me in its bosom
Holding me present

Dreams Like Fruit
06:22

There's a sleepy little valley
in the back of my mind
Where everything that we have ever dreamed is real
Where all of our dreams
are like fruit in the trees
Ripe for the plucking
My hands slide upwards
reaching
They are always,
Always grasping for something
Just there not quite hold 'em steady
Our dreams they are wild
and unfocused
and bright
They are big and they are golden
and they are all ours
They shimmer and they sparkle
in the early morning's light
And if we could
just pluck them
they are ours for the taking
These silvery tendrils
wrested from our imaginations
They are ours, all ours
and they always will be
Born over and over
renewed with each days passing

There is a puzzle piece
a hidden language
You take your chances
in the ground
and all the spectators
they are surrounding
They are closing in
they'll have you soon
You're decomposing
Your body's filling up
Green is growing
all out of your ears
You will take one more step
into the abyss
La da da, la da da, la da da da da da
We had to make a run for it
we left your brother behind
and your father, well
he wasn't always
so kind
But I will hold you
when you freeze up
I will wipe all of the tears
from your eyes
I'll always be
by your side
La da da, la da da, la da da da da da
La da da, la da da, la da da da da da
Rest your weary head
Children at your feet
Now its time for bed
Lay yourself to sleep
We're gonna run, run, run, run come morning
Chase the monsters out
out from under their beds
Don't give up the ghost
trapped inside your head
We're gonna run, run, run, run come morning
Our feet are hitting the earth
One print at a time
Make's marks in the dirt
Leave a trail behind
We're gonna run, run, run, run come morning

Catch In The Light
06:24

You caught me
you caught me
you caught me
looking your way
You saw me in the fading light
a half-smile on my face
You hold me up and you hold me
dear
Wrapped up in a blanket and I am
sated
There is a warmth
there is a fire
I hold it close to my chest
and the flames
grow higher
and higher
and higher
I can't believe
how this happened
I am amazed
and I am breathless
I feel complete
in your light
I can see
the forward movement
There is a warmth
there is a fire
I hold it close to my chest
and the flames
grow higher
and higher
and higher
I keep tossing up coins
they catch in the light
flashing and dazzled and spent

Got a message today
in the lines of a history book
Leave it up to science
Leave it up to me
Leave it up to god
You're reading it for logic
when everything here
is such a mess
They'll kick your teeth in
They'll tear you up to shreds
Man is a god, man is a demon
you want to find a line that doesn't exist
its all intersections
Our balance is a lopsided horse
You seem to make it a goal
of yourself
to wear it all so thin
and to fray all the edges
You chop off your hands to get
to the skin
of it
I want to take them
and sew them
back to the wrists
But they won't stop moving and I can't
get the thread in
Man is a god, man is a demon
you want to find a line that doesn't exist
its all intersections
Our balance is a lopsided horse
Oh, I want you to see

Kittiwakes are coastal breeding birds ranging in the North Pacific, North Atlantic and Arctic oceans. The black-legged kittiwake is often known simply as kittiwake. The name is derived from the birds call, a song 'kittee-wa-ake, kittee-wa-ake'. Colonies can be found throughout the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands to southeast Alaska. In the winter, the range extends further south and out to sea. ... more
