we come awake in a sunken field
formed in stillness around us
we rise with the shine of a belligerent sun
with dew on our lips
the mountains surround, smoky waves drowned
in the green of the woods
soft, the wind carries us up like a mad little bird
did I move slowly enough for you?
the fire exploded I thought Ben was through
we brushed the embers off of our shoes
and laughed at the number of holes that were new
you hoped I noticed you
I have already forgotten what it was I wanted to say something darling don't just stand there trying hard to look me in my eye/I have already forgotten what it was I wanted to say something darling don't just stand there trying not to look me in my eye/I have already…
we can’t fall asleep, it’s dark and it’s cold
but it is not quiet
there's a river nearby but I cant find its song
between all the others
I listen hard for the noise that it makes
as its water's repeating
on and on a lot like the things we thought we'd do
