lyrics

with my back warmed by a fire
i think of us untangling by way of silence. poetry at sea
journaling truth
i read it and then touched strings
upside down picture looks like lovers kissing
something's missing the mark

i look at you sideways sleeping in the red pj's
recalling the bent down grass in the ice
and that smile you laid on me
as the dusted mountains shone on, in caroline

harmonics- testing sounds
laying down. to the rhythms untangling and retangling
learning the timing of coming together
synchronized breathing
expectations unreal
revealing the tangling i tangle upon love

i look at you sideways sleeping in the red pj's
recalling the bent down grass in the ice
and that smile you laid on me
as the dusted mountains shone on, in caroline

tomorrow back to tennessee
getting lost on 421
gravity digging on barns
men fishing in the creek
in visions i speak
i blew breath into the harth
the hissing heat departs
one silouette is the dark
ice fragments from intent
hanging jut enbankment
lovers walk in white trees
lines straight and staggering
take me to the night without sleep
take me to the morning
when the new snow is gathering

i look at you sideways sleeping in the red pj's
recalling the bent down grass in the ice
and that smile you laid on me
as the dusted mountains shone on, in caroline
