Song Song
I can't think of a time
before the river
when all that was
was stone upon stone
Upriver from the home
we've always forgotten
when you look up
and the way there
is not known
always already overhead and underfoot
the fall of words will fail to tell
the time before we threw stones at the mirror
there's a song sung by ghosts that we love
that we take our names from
how long was the song sung before the sun?
on the banks, of the river
they came, without walls to enclose
made stones, to propose
time became a rose…

Blue as it ever was
Far gone
Words can’t get through
Words have a way of
avoiding you
The void you’re made of
A thousandth of our love’s room
It was gone before we got to
Have a feeling of ever
Too late, too soon
First off
Out of the blue
Out of the way of
What can be viewed
Or will be left of
A thousand times our love’s room
So soon gone and ever anew
In the event of never
There is no way for the sun to cry at all
Said a voice in the front room
When the seam/sea is opened
Two hundred thousand stars will vanish
In the fray/spray
No one could tell us how high the wave
If we survived at all
Since I could not shout
I stood near the spout
Where rainwater rushes out
Blue as it ever ever was

Little Kurdi
Love’s the moon
And I am new
I build a boat
To cast out on the water
Search my heart
For room for you
So we both can reach the shore
There’s no child
We’re here and soon
An empty boat
Will find us in the water
Love’s the moon
That breaks in two
If we never reach the shore
Like a song
a little footstep that's soft
and then gone
and at dawn
when a child would be waking
nothing moves the morning
but a wave
And if we never reach the shore
the moon will break in two
faded song
like a child before waking
moving toward the morning
as a wave
Love’s the moon
And I am new
I build a boat
To cast out on the water
Search my heart
For room for you
So we both can reach the fullness of all waves
In the swell of time
What falls behind
When our new life comes to shine
The song of waves
