you broke open
you broke down
roots of the garden
coming up drowned
I would've come running
lightning feet
I was surrounded
stuck in the season
of restless seas
under the frost line
over the stone
digging a basement
burning the bones
I would've come flying
a sparked live wire
I was surrounded
stuck in the season
of wildfires
you don't have to
hold on so tightly
cut your tether
lay down
in a bed of poppies
and look up
you run ragged
and you run fast
racking up miles
breaking your back
I should’ve come swinging
a circling ace
but I'm surrounded
stuck in this season
of hurricanes

Field Recording on #10 captured by Anna Vogelzang in Chimacum, WA.
My spirits are immediately lifted when I hear the first track in this album. "Funky Duck" is one of few songs that slaps without a drum kit. The rest of the album is a cozy cushion of zen; funky, upbeat, low-volume. This was my chicken soup when I got COVID at the beginning of the year. t0cktock
