lyrics

Trudging through the canyon floor
I’m longing for my bones to join the ancient soil
Exposed to me

Creatures scarcely seen are studied
Match them to their image in my pocket guide
What else to find

How do these mountains mirror me
No path is laid beneath my feet
Still many miles to go

And no I am not everything
No not all that I should be

Carried away
May I wander back
It wouldn’t take so long at all

Empty vessels line the counter
Holler to the barren room when all have gone
It won’t be long

Till death does sever marriage bands
Lingering stings––and the trembling hands
Of a youthful lust
Removed from us

And no you are not everything
No not all that you could be
And what to call your own

May you give it away
To break the spell
It wouldn’t take so long at all
