lyrics

Mercury, creeping on the sea
how she wails, flails her arms and weeps
accumulation of debris


lips apart flapping as a lark
for in the dark there is release


every familiarity scarce as the great white shark


O to build walls with golden gills
spike in hand high above the sand
to kill the sanctuary
every mile that is owned only stands still by the grace of the stone


look daughter and owl
listen to her howl
i howled when you were born through me
and you’re alive with a breath you can’t see all by the grace of this dream
