Silence Then The Rain (Snippet)

Repeat until death

The Nearness Of You (Vocal & Guitar Duo)

Lyrics

The beat on the concrete, run
quicken the feet and blood,
Beckon breath to come.
Rattle of bone behind
Off-beat but keeping time,
That net ain’t mine.

While out on the water
a pull on the line,
and I take up from under
The cold, white gleam of bone tied. 

On to an empty road
Buildings left long ago
Concrete over-grown
The rattle of bone behind
I’m fading with the light, the light. 

Sing to the bones, cut and cut the net.
It’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
Until sleep calls me home, singing for the dead
And in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says

No Nail rest upon my hand
Took to a Northern land
Built a boat for man
Sailed upon the flood then came back when all was done
But that is only half a lie, half

Sing to the bones, cut and cut the net.
It’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
’til sleep calls me home, I’m singing for the dead
And in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says

Fecund flesh, I’m breathing deeper this time
Made my arms, thighs stronger
Rooted to the earth I am fine
Made it like I never saw that sea
I feel the answer to all that these bones can be
I feel the answer to all that

Sing to the bones, cut and cut the net.
It’s caught in the throat, a hip, a bone, a neck
’til sleep calls me home, I’m singing for the dead
And in the night she sits up, covers her bones with skin and says

Feather and Bone

Blog post about the original poem https://www.scarletdame.com/carried-aloft/

Root piano riff is from my friend Fallow Dear's https://soundcloud.com/fallowdear/hyphae-pt-2

Happy Valentine's Day. When I first came out as a trans woman, I had the unprompted thought "I love myself" for the first time in my life. I recoiled as if struck, and thus began an ongoing journey of learning to accept my own care. In my early transition, I often wanted to ignore, erase, and shut the door on my past self. 

I wrote this song about coming to love him instead. To hold him gently as a part of myself that simultaneously always is and never was.

Sending you all my love today on your journey to loving yourself.
