Our wrists, watch, wide 
Spring the coils inside 
Like we are flying 
Stopping time 

Our hands, trace, lines 
Push the layers aside 
Pull back the night 
Holding time

Wrists, Watch, Wide

A dark gown you wear 
As you grow your hair 
And it falls around 
In folds, surrounds 

A grove, a lake 
Underneath a cave 
And you swim on down 
Night in, night out

A Dark Gown You Wear

Wade in the sea 
And I will follow closely 
We lift off our feet 
Until our thoughts are floating 

The way that I see 
Moving colors around me 
Though I can't breathe 
It's getting harder to leave

Waterlemon

I find 
Life sweeter on the inside 
Trimmed and trenched 
Into place 
Carve you a heart 
Nestled in the sap and tar 
Stretch your limbs 
And breathe again 

Leaning, swaying 
See the breeze 
Feel the shaking 
In my leaves 
Up high 
In my bed 
I hide 
In my bed 

Oh I breathe out 
Oh I breathe out 
Leave the ground 
Above the clouds 

Grandfather lost his hands 
Sifting debris 
Feel the gears inside 
Spinning free 
Hear the in-betweens 
Gaps durations 
Cuckoos beady eye 
Wants to see 

I need a change 
I stop and swing 

Pace the stride 
Shadows on the wall 
Steady floating ring 
Stop and stall 
Cusp of dawn 
Moon is making faces 
Sand drips down the slide 
To leaky basins 

And I need a change 
I stop and swing

Tree Hollow

A summer spent watching out of my head 
Three silver nails in a blue field 
I comb my hair to keep a calm 
The lattice is only the manner of forming 
Getting on to breathing, nice and easy 
We all try hard to care 
On that holy coast we'll ride above the sea 

Breathe out on me, Shoals from the sand 
Breathe out on me, Whole in the wind 

I found it there as the miles rolled 
It was waiting for me ahead 
A plot of earth down a redwood road 
Where I'll learn how to wear my head 
It's waiting there and it's all I'll own 
Just a corner to rest again 
A plot of earth and a shady grove 
And I'll know how to wear my head

Big Sur

Winding water through wheat and clay 
A lonely pear to bear all the weight 
Moon beams and autumn leaves that sway 
Cool shades in vineyard breeze 
The vineyard keeps the calm in me

Pear To Bear

Songbird on forest hill 
Hidden whippoorwills 
Singing the melody of dreams 
Juniper cathedral evergreen 
Through the window frame 
Across the garden and down the lane 
Your dress glows 
Yellow patterned calico 
The frisbee dog he has found his shade 
Next to the barn that our grandfathers raised 
The climbing trees 
And grass stains soaked into our jeans. 
Summer has come 
Peeling peaches for the pie 
Elated sun 
Hang our clothes out on the line 
Summer has come 
Throw the blanket on the lawn 
Elated sun 
Hiking trail at mornings dawn 
Wool is spun 
Spinning wheel to bobbin wound 
Day is done 
Weigh the fleece off by the pound

Juniper Cathedral

We drove out 
To a country town 
And waded in 
Amongst the crowd 
That formed beneath 
The great flying balloons 

Virginia native 
Born and raised 
Feet planted firmly 
Red aged clay 
My golden haired, 
My child you will bloom 

The sun rolls over 
Across the land 
The hare and fox 
Will tarry home again 
We'll get home 
Have a feast 
My love, is there enough for us 
Yes there's enough for all of us 

Back home 
Night light 
Inviter 
Locator 
The fawning 
Curator 
Gathering indigo 
Up from the garden loam 
Arrange, the bouquet 
Under autumn leaves 
An epiphanic breeze 
Awaits, awaits 
Tales from long ago 
Riding with the buffalo 
The brave 
Stories in the bed 
Rest your dandelion head 
And pray, you pray 
All the grass will grow 
Know the things you say you know 
Your way, you say 
Tractoring along 
Bouncing up atop the straw 
And hay, a sleigh 
San Marzano red 
Knead the dough 
And bake the bread 
And wait, we'll wait 
Climb on 
Go

Indigo

Steamboat gone northbound
Her older fragile frame
She carries the light of the dawn
Heavy burden rests on her weary head

Hallowed, ancient sound
Brought them wide awake
And it buried the light of the dawn
Heavy virtue rests on their noble heads

Down in the river
Baptized in water
We'll get even now
We'll make it even now

Oh the way it was
For all of our days
We'll take it easy now
We can rest easy now
