WAKE UP, CHILDREN. NEW FISH IN A BIRRCAGE SONG‼️‼️‼️

I keep coming back to the comments to check on people, I was sad when this song first dropped and no one commented but it’s taking a lot longer to wait than I expected, it makes me want to post this comment each time. (Note: I did.)

CHILDREN, FATHER DROPPED A SONG‼️‼️💥🤑

just keeps getting better with each song release

This gives me the odyssey vibes in the best way

Was it wrong? Was it right? Should we be here at all?

gods i love fish in a bird cage so much they just don't miss

Came back a year later, nothin much… 💔🫩

Fish in a Birdcage

Rule #1 - Magic

Rule #33 - Pyre

Lyrics:

Toeing a trench
In the mulch between
Your patch and mine
I stubbed myself on a treacherous thistle
And I cried out
If it were merely
A matter of a stray thorny bristle
A barrier screen could be laid
And I wouldn't miss you

We could go the distance
Were there more disease resistance
On your part
Nothing lasts forever
When you never
Let it start

Every day I pass this way
I expect to find you
Waiting for me
Beneath the branches
Of the buckeye tree
Waving a palmetto frond
Siphoning orange juice
With a barber pole-ish wand

Red horsechestnut?
Clever disguise
I, of course, guessed, but
Said you'd never naturalize

Species zag as seasons zig
Tough to keep plants in one place
Any chance they get, they diaspore
Or else transmutate
Traipsing looping garden paths
Chasing floodplain Tupelo
Tracing roots to Ponderosa
Tangling with a Strangler fig

Now in an old growth Bald-cypress stand
Knees locked in the strand swamp
Black- and yellow-crowned Night Herons
Abound in colonies
Conferring on me collective memory
My eyelids flutter
Orbits fill with water
Hemlock in my hammock
Limbs thrash, I spit and sputter
Alligator drags me under
Into the solution hole

To protect me from
Elements of fantasy
That thrive in shady reality
To offer respite from
The demands of gardening
To show me
Trees are just the fruit
Of an even bigger tree

Dustan Townsend is more than just your typical roof climbing guru. He’s also quite possibly the best cello playing hippy from Victoria.

With a bow in his right hand and an ebony fretboard clutched in his left, Dustan has adventured far to bring his message of love to a wide audience.
