icelandic sheep

how often I forget

the sun
spreads over my body

its golden ray
melting butter onto my
 lips

cheeks...

legs

neck.


pouring through
my broken pieces

until I am once again
whole.



how often I forget

to ask this Giant Star

to share a little of
its

brilliant light.

from brooke and julia

something missing (lyrics)

you stayed on shore
lost in questions
waiting for magic to pull you in

I dove headfirst into murky waters
waiting for you
to arrive.

you said

something's missing
something's missing

the only thing missing
was you.


you want to be consumed

spun dizzy

fly high


you want to hold something certain

so left our muddled love to try and find...

but how could our course have been smoother
in these rough and rocky waves?

how could our course have been smoother
in these strange and uncertain days?



I felt more,
but does this mean
I lost more?

I fought hard
but does this mean
I was left?


You need to be hit hard
to feel a love that hurts

I don't need much

just a breath down my neck

down my neck....


next time I'll save my deep feeling

next time this song won't be for you.


you said something's missing
but you left before you knew

you said something's missing

the only thing missing

was you.

built on water (lyrics)

there is nothing left to do.

I've emptied my house,

cleaned out my room

but my poor home is sinking


water coming through....


into the place
we made our food
and ate and ate
and laughed and laughed too.


a bowl shatters to the ground

(the one you gave me to hold).


Who built this house on water?

I must choose to leave or drown.




more windows have broken
more water rushing through.


up the stairs
into my room.



I cannot leave my only home.

but my only home is sinking.


Who built this house on water?

could I not see it swaying
since I was swaying too?


and when I looked at steady ground,
I thought it was the one shaking.


my poor house is sinking
I must choose to leave or drown.
