lyrics

NEW LIGHT This place has a new light, my feet will dip in the clear stream.  / 'neath the lilies and brambles,  there is a gurgle masking the stones / the deer ought to know this, to toughen the skin is to smooth out the stones.  / A coyote is born in the moon, tongue blossoming dew with the licking of wounds/ we are babies and cubs here, we are adults and wise with brightening of eyes.  / The ocean is wet, we are cold from the wrestling arms of the bay.  / When does this story end now, is there ever an ending to the never ending flow, / of the nature of water, spinning webs with the threads of the dew and the frost. / Take the poison and pin me, to the back of my throat til I call out again. / This is corduroy masking the genes, the jingling wrecking of skin, / that she grew from the snowshoe hares that live on peacefully, / we grew up in peace there, through the fighting and tight belts / we grew up to change.  We are made from the wreck there, / I cut down the pines so I could meet myself here.  / Nature gives me a new grace, I am nothing but love in the youngness of time.  / We will be blessed to die here, the red firs never red as our tongues in a kiss / Our mouths are the ocean, these bodies are kelp and the salt rolls right off, / this is sugarcane growing, in the reeds of the banks of the Mississippi. / The rain pours on a river, the river is the sky, and the sky holds the ground. / I have been open to praying, I believe in the mind is the openness of fields, / no matter what flowers bloom here, I care for the colors and blankness of space, / They will refract, let us blanket the rainbows and lay them to rest.
