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

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

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

Kittiwake

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
