Lyrics

as a kid you are mostly unaware unaware of

how much the sky is opened up

above you

and

of how many eyes found it there

and now look down, and not

up

you don't have to make your body small

it just is

you don't ask the sun to shine

it just does

you don't ask the nighttime,falling low

and mean, make me forget everything

even how to talk, even how to grow up, until

I go

back in

mama's belly and then you sit and wait

for me until i'm born

again

you don't have to make your body small

it just is

you don't ask the sky to turn

it just does

you don't ask the good ride, spoiled in the green,

show me everything

(you

just ain't myself today(

from the firework explosion of your every

sense,

from the wriggling slip to () flecks of light in

torrent -fall

before from storm

from

flush, newly formed before Red pleasure

or Black fear, when there was but one

order here:

to fill your lungs new with fire

and blow with everything within the song

of neither

from the first askings of your future, settling ,

like figured bass, your line and cell bone and

bend,

marrow mind, these tomorrows never having

been

having never happened through you

yet

, your new

pursuits

your pure joys,

your guileless questioning,

from the smallest innocence your need of me,

from report of what amazements

you have freed

and what you have in simple season learned,

I already had the handle turned.

as

claiming all of your furious hours,

the crystallizing ice in minutes conquered,

fell

before you

as night let slip its short breaths from

your opened mouth,

and fantasy wrapped its soft snares all around

as the tendrils of fright drew close

as nighttime thoughts could not begin

without their garrulous charge,

marred great

between these trees enough fog to make one

think

the whole world

had caught fire

scrub pines churning into cinder

and smoke, like the engine's empty stroke,

except what we know,

the smell was clear

as you drew near,

spilling dreams of rocks and streams

princes and worms,

I already had the handle turned.

from storm trails from July,

awake, beginning to mark the learn

of something like my one true face,

where I taught to predict the contortions

of figure

but not the weathered turn

and you ,

too reeled

from lengthening spirals of genetic squall

til you had grown, all

larger than I could have known

from where I could call

the storm but not the word,

from where before I dread

never this full return,

from where you brought to me

everything,

where whatever whatever is,

we think

we think inside a soul

was between us proved

to match,

I clasped the latch.
