lyrics

You cover your face when you laugh.
Don't. It is the most air can be.
Your breath-song is a golden craft
do not bury it among the

Wrinkles of your palm, they clench
the music, let fall to the ground,
for the feet of men and dogs to crunch
and grind to ash that life-soaked sound

which becomes earth where no bulb blooms.
I needle you with tarnished wit
to coerce your laugh into rooms
gloomy but for your laughter light.

I've watched your face glow yet half-
shaded, it's like looking to sea
for the light of the moon. Your laugh
is living - the most you can be.

This is your room and this is your bed
This is the ceiling where our breath fled
Our life-ribbons rise and twine
Like larks unburdened by the wind

Your breath breaks the silence and spreads
Through the night like waves break the shore
and blacken the sand but instead
it's I, not children, who plays there,

Bare-footed, dancing in your breath.
I try and match the fall of your chest
and breathing out till there's no air left
we're caught in beauty the day molests.

When we're apart doing different things
our breath carries far above our heads
on the ends of long, thin strings
we're tied together like silver thread.

I've watched your eyes cloud and rain
it's like taking scissors to the sky
or peeling back the scab, that pain
is living - the most you can be.

This is your room and this is your bed
This is the ether where our dreams bled
Our life-ribbons rise and coil
Like larks unburdened by the soil
