a love song to big thief, modest mouse, my father's s'more preparation, my partner's brother in law, and the creek behind downing drive
lyrics
we marked with our names and compasses the spots that we couldn't harness then
we must've had other things to do
the gorge wept the rain of yesterday
sticks piled all across the way
we learned how to change the things we could
the craw dad a caddisfly to bake
the sun stole the vitals out the cage
i lounged so long in that sated daze
the match struck, the stink of phosphorous and dad opened up the box for us
the best meal in week, in months, in years
well he's about off the oxygen and we're al going to see him but we still cross our fingers and our toes
the light becalmed every nightly shake
the sweat and salt soakin in the sheets
i thought of damn near everything for you
the wind struck the back side of the gate
skull hanging off the antler breaks
they must've had other plans for you
and i noticed as an orbweaver trapped a dandelion seed
you too hold on to things that you may not need
