Lyrics
My mother sings still,
as she sleeps within the sun,
I glimpse and go blind.
My father will wail,
howling about tomorrow,
tearing at his throat.
A still spectacle,
black curious wings quick clipped,
flightless without sight.
Lain light, half shadows,
swallow wallows home sallow,
soft morning glow looms.
Darkness deafening
eyesight mired making shapes
naught in the silence.
Hollow birch blooms out
towards the loon moon setting
against her psalm skin.
Dying on day birthed,
void humming, sung all winter,
quickness of deep sleep.
My mother sings still,
as she sleeps within the sun,
I glimpse and go blind.
My father will wail,
howling about tomorrow,
tearing at his throat.
