Panacea 02:48
You’re going to plant flowers all over their face. With neither fear nor care; make everyone yours. Every day she screams you’ll never be there, Back in tune, you’re black and ordered and rare. Waves push in Rain always bleeds out Snow falls in Wind always rips open. Leafy little promise rooted deep Washing in salt; waist deep Every night she knows you’ll always be there Back in hiding; tried blue and eaten red Waves push in Rain always bleeds out Snow falls in Wind always rips open. Panacea Panacea is in the trees. Waves push in Rain always bleeds out Snow falls in Wind always rips open.

Yellow 04:19
I’ll pick up those few spilled petals And you’ll grow seeds where my touch Bruised Yellow And I’ll tear up so many different petals And you’ll glue leaves in where there’s holes All Yellow Things like time spread inside And noises blossom through Words like eyes fill with air And I know I have everything And I’ll throw the same piece of petal And you’ll qualm and wonder why It’s Yellow And when I finally melt them to one petal You’ll have already been sure; glowing Yellow Things like time spread inside And noises blossom through Words like eyes fill with air And I know I have everything Yellow turns to rock And rock turns to rain And then the rain fills up Every single thing Every single thing

Senescing away; Awe …sheets of bark …glitter and falling …covering it all The sun and clouds were birth. Lungs all full of sky God’s and force fold you up Taking turns while being No time as an animal; Awe …heart all wide …ears full of earth …eyes were air The sun and clouds were birth. Lungs all full of sky God’s and force fold you up Taking turns while being You

Ocean Mate 03:58
Waiting on time Craving time Floating around Bleeding down Wanting an illusion Roots gushing over The earth is walking away Words cause purging Want to plant them in forests Forests of clay You all have eyes to you can breath Living in meadows Fruit from sky Wading so deep Liquid seed Like loving a painting Leaves spreading inside The ocean mates for life Who is aging? Want to plant their hands in soils Soils of sun You all have eyes to you can breath

I always find you in trees Red is the only truth I always find you in trees Reminds me there’s something there like time. Sometimes the rain, it won’t come down. Sometimes my mouth won’t pry open. And sometimes God feels like paint. I always find you in flower When you’re pink and soft I always find you in rock When you’re fish and black Sometimes the rain, it won’t come down. Sometimes my mouth won’t pry open. And sometimes God feels like paint. Sometimes the rain it won’t come down

Perpetua 01:01
Sometime I think I am The tree that blocked your path. Sometimes I think I am The tree that lit your path. I am the tree that caught on fire.

50% Bird 04:14
She asked slowly, “Where are we going?” He said something Like rocks and water In the sun, she was his bird In the star, a weary fish Then there was the time of stars He wandered the earth in search of her She was never found She was in the lie He found ways to keep warm Meanwhile her time as fish Grew ever thinner Then one day she was his earth And in the star, a sleeping earth In the sun, she was his bird In the star, a sleepy earth Then there was the time of stars He wandered her earth like fire She would always be found She was of the earth

Malaise 02:10
When I sigh I’d rather sleep When I die I’d rather sleep I’d rather sleep I’d rather sleep When I sigh---------I’d rather sleep

Good Ice 03:30
She had heard about bad ice And how the salt water’s always unsafe Shapes, angles Painted down her spine She heard he was there Where the ice was always good “I like when you call out for me.” “I like when you call out for me.” “I like when you call out for me.” She walked around the turtle shaped earth A wide search for a certain god An offering, land and sky He was where the ice was good She knew the ways of earth Life as a collection of pieces “I like when you call out for me.” “I like when you call out for me.” “I like when you call out for me.” He had heard that they were changing The weather He told her to lean to the side when she stands And that her spine should mimic that Of twigs, stones, and ants
10.
Kinnaras 04:22
When I think of him It’s all sunlight and little bits of green. Fierce drops of water With bared teeth and soft lips. He sprouts from my guts at first My eyes and my hair like light He keeps me in jars For light You have the only hands that could rip me in pieces. The only sort of eyes that hold me in place Your energy milks me thin and fragile Your water weathers away my paper soul. He sprouts from my guts at first My eyes and my hair like light He keeps me in jars For light
11.
Bee Keeper 05:12
Way up high Way up high Way up high Way up high He knows where there’s bees He knows where there’s bees He knows where there’s bees He knows where there’s bees Way up high Way up high Way up high Way up high Apiary gold sweet troglodyte Solitude hot green erudite Solitude hot green only ersatz He knows where there’s bees He knows where there’s bees He knows where there’s bees He knows where there’s bees
