lyrics

I had a dream,
We drove away,
To the islands,
Of South Jersey,
From a white Alpaca,
Flowed a long, clean mane,
And a peacock stood atop,
A tall hill of grain,
That glowed red with clovers,
Before a sea of salt,
We just pulled over,
And turned the engine off.

Then I woke up,
Beneath a clean, white ceiling,
And I walked into the kitchen,
And poured a bowl of blueberries,
They stained my tongue,
They stained my lips,
They stained every one of my white fingertips,
And on my lap sat this black cat,
With the Spirit of a bird,
In the midst of a deep nap,
Was when I first felt, then heard.

That bird humming like mmm hmm.
Softly.

Then you sang a spell,
Through the window in the kitchen,
Pretty bird beaked baby,
All of Brooklyn heard you singing,
It traveled far until the Plattekill called back,
Then we both laid naked,
And took a short cat nap,
And I thought maybe I had all along,
Dreamt the whole song up,
Till I awoke and found you humming,
Beneath a ceiling newly caulked.

Diatribe Baby.

The hills,
Are still,
Burning,
Not green.

The chill,
It Spills,
Out from the creek,
Into my bloodstream.

Awakes new memories.
