lyrics

All of the catkins and the pinecones
find a home, find a home on your windshield.
Small gypsies moved by wind and rain:
home is temporary.
And the rain compels you to cry, compels you to cry
or bow like a wheatfield.

Hands made a vessel for that water. Cold
and alone, and alone, they lose sleep here:
Small mysteries steeped in joy and pain.

Loam from the estuary
and a garden rich by and by--fertile claim by and by
distilled from love's sweet yield:
arteries of earth and a whimpering ocean.

Marcy is hidden by the clouds--
her bare shoulders cold. Our blood, it sings her song.
