I am undone
a puddle of bones & blood
a heartbeat away from 4000 white flags
a prodigal son
your only begotten one
I've rambled so far
I can't find my way back
to the light
and with each new sun
I walk down to the water
looking for the future floating by
but you do not come
orphaned or not, my love
you have been bound by
burdens born and died
with each night
so come on home
it's lonesome when the water
climbs so high
come on home
the darkness cannot drive
between the line
from me to you
we have been folded in
like one bread, like one body
chronologies set deep into the crown
lay it all down
here, down by the water
incurable, this wound
wound lifetimes long
turns to light
you do not need to be broken for me
you do not need to be broken
passed in our blood
a swimming, heavy history
freighted with language
slanted and unkind
the translator's heart
is building a syntax ark
hammering words
against/into the blueing tides
of the night
so come on home
it's lonesome when the water
climbs so high
come on home
the darkness cannot drive
between the line
from you to me

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
