Into the Wake, Mystified
03:58
|

I can’t forget you, I don’t try
To undo the latch of a hook and eye
I know I said I didn’t want you to stay the night
But it doesn’t really matter because
everything you do is golden
I can’t forget you, I don’t try
Can’t unhear the voice of a Lorelei
I dive into the wake, mystified
And nothing ever shatters
Because it’s just my time, and I’ve got plenty
Your eyes were bright like the diving rings
My grandmother threw into the pool
When I was a child
I can’t forget you, I don’t try
Can’t unhear the voice of a Lorelei
I dive into the wake, mystified
Two splintered halves of a Gemini

Stranger Powers
03:31
|
|||
You’re resting on your laurels while you’re painting your toes
Fully clad in florals and a sapphire glow
They are beauty, they are grace*
Wasting time making lists in slips of see through lace
Figs ripening in the moonlight
Dreams you’ll forget in the morning light
And you are hunting for stranger powers
In less familiar hours
Figs ripening in the moonlight
And you’re waxing poetic by the waning moon
Thirty of your empress cards around us strewn
Dreams you’ll forget in the morning light
And you are hunting for stranger powers in less familiar hours

Enjoy the Moon!
03:32
|
|||
Fruit curtain takes the cake
You know it’s hard for me to stay awake
when the room is full of men in hats
Cardboard conversations
I talk to the cat
I can Enjoy the Moon here
If you’ll kiss the ends of my hair
As our shadows pass on the stair

Sleeptalk Interlude
01:42
|
|||
It’s been years but if I talked in my sleep
It’d be your name on my lips
When we quietly dreamt of a home
Filled with instruments
Everything else is fool’s gold

Giant pink tsunami waves carry you
Your mother can’t be brave but she carried you
From the top of the spiral staircase they’ll toss you
You’ll settle beneath the mammoth caves in the mossy blue
The seagulls are calling you again
They’ll spirit you away to be with them
You say you’ve gotta stop all the late night dreaming
You say it’s bringing you all the late night demons
The girlfriend of the west coast,
You wear your wedding ring on the right side and
Each night you sing
(cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye)
You’ve gotta stop all the late night dreaming
It’s bringing you all the late night demons
I wonder if you’ve stopped all the late night dreaming
It’s bringing you all the late night demons
Giant pink tsunami waves
Beneath the mammoth caves

Fig Dream
02:59
|
|||
Figs ripening in the moonlight
While I dream scenes I won’t remember
Tomorrow in the morning light
Figs in the moonlight
Turn to the starlight your grey leaves
Tonight are you dreaming of me
Night malls and starlit halls
Will I ever stop thinking of you
With moon in your palms
Covered in fronds
Lashes thicker than your sister’s and mom’s
Turn to the starlight your grey leaves
Tonight are you dreaming of me
Figs in the moonlight

Nightshade
03:15
|
|||
Burying pennies at the roots of hydrangeas
Violet florets in the eyes of strangers
Daylight and nightshade with your dark glasses on
Ears full of ocean and its shimmering song
You want to be buried in seafoam arms
Sunlapped limbs dressed in oceanic charms
Fair winds and following seas
You gave your voice to me
Salamander clouds, your wrists of Chanel No. 5
Your coral lipstick smile made the sun rise in the sky
Saltwater petrifying your sand dune hair
You’ve never been afraid of the unknown there
Fair winds and following seas
You gave your voice to me

Titania
03:47
|
|||
Silver haired matriarch in her joyous silver home
Two silver daughters and one son, all her own
Telling filigree secrets she tucks behind my ears:
Stories of her Oberon and music of the spheres
Titania, reclining on a throne of irises
Swan perm loosened into waves of champagne
You are more radiant than ever
In the morning by the window pane
Titania
Whispering lullabies to the dog
Sleeping on the rug in a sunbeam
“It will be so heavenly to hold you again in a daydream”
Titania
The windchimes hanging from the lamp ring whenever you turn the light on
Singing like birds at the fringe of evening and the palest blush of dawn

Silken Ilk
04:21
|
|||
I remember your voice to her, softer than ever
Two glowing moons echoing each other forever
Constellations of adoration gilding our love and limbs
Hiding amidst plants and shadows and midday swims
Perennial glow, in the night you’ll be
(Golden girl)
Perennial glow, laying out under the lime tree
(Golden girl)
She knit us together with knots under her ears
Three heads of a silken ilk, on her nested pillow of seven years
You are strength and softness, the two are the same
In my dreams I hear your name
Perennial glow, in the night you’ll be
(Golden girl)
Perennial glow, laying out under the lime tree
(Golden girl)
Perennial glow, in the night you’ll be
(Golden girl)
Perennial glow, sugar from the sun to me
(Golden girl)
