about

An ode, formed in the lusty tall grass of summer.

lyrics

The weeds of summer hide us in the thicket, from an
Old man cutting hay ‘cross the pasture line
Along the soapstone leading to the garden, are
Baskets, blankets and curves of your spine

Berry juice runs down my chin
An untamed taste invited in
On the moss we are immortal
Where the morning will begin
With berry-stained fingers and dandelions

Protected from the traffic by the willows
Canes of black raspberries whip our cheeks
In the shade the air is cool as caverns
As we pick the fruit it falls and crests in dusty peaks

Berry juice runs down my chin
An untamed taste invited in
On the moss we are immortal
Where the morning will begin
With berry-stained fingers and dandelions

In the harvest when the honeybees are drowsy
Our tired lilac hands reach to dirty toes
Nothing will be left to mark our passing
The matted outlines fade where we lay exposed

Berry juice runs down my chin
An untamed taste invited in
On the moss we are immortal
Where the morning will begin
With berry-stained fingers and dandelions
