Take Me Over Barry

A simple tune in memory of a friend recently passed. We wish her well on her way *

Temporary recording - a high quality version up soon.

For Susana

A Harmony

Gaslighting

When the monster is sleeping and waiting
When the cracks in the walls threat the cieling
When the traps in the floor seem to tempt you more
Go slowly

When the meaning's too complex to feel
When the language would drive you away
When the words just take time
To come to your mind
Go slowly

When that bond is so suddenly silent
When the fog would hide you away
When the battle is so unwinnable
There is no utterable syllable
Go slowly

When the hitch-hiker is known to be a danger
When the drivers have blood in their eyes
When all essence of hope
Lays in unwilling wrists and ropes
Go slowly

Wrap up warm
For the oncoming storm
And go slowly 

Wrap Up Warm

"Your chest is a nest
lays my bones

Your smell lends an ink
that paints my home

Home

You fur is a field,
a grass graced sleep

You roots nourish me
face to feet

Your breath lends a light-
ness to my tomes

Your chest is a nest
Lays my bones

Home

It's home."

Your Chest Is A Nest (Hairy Bois Love Song)

"Once, we felt the Earth
From seed to feasting harvest 
Love grants a return

Once we used to sing
Once we used to sing seasons
They sang back again


Once, the Earth was round
Falling four flowing quarters
Stoking all our life

Once, our lives turned 'round
Every swell a kind, wise face
Came to speak breathe again

Once, the Earth stood still
Exhausted all it's giving
Seasons ceased to turn

Once, the moon grew tired
Ceased to pull a tide on Spring
Ceased to pull our own

Once, the fire raged
Monsoon rain ran from forests
Soil dry as dead bones

Once, I lost my wife
War raged from thirst and hunger
Winter ran so warm


Once, we felt the Earth
From seed to feasting harvest 
Love grants a return

Once we used to sing
Once we used to sing seasons
They sang back again"
