cold spell

Push back the blossom
into the bud.

Push back the sea
from the shore.

Coltsfoot and hackberry,
Coughwort and bird cherry,
Back in the bud with you!
Wait for your time.

Silver birch, white birch,
hazel and horse chestnut,
Back in the bud! Do not
come before your time.

Black locust, linden.
Black locust, lime.
Do not come before your time.

Lilac, save your purple.
Dandelion, your sun.
Priest, take your turn:

Corylus avellana
Tussilago farfara
Padus avium
Taraxacum officinale
Betula pendula
Syringa vulgaris
Aesculus hippocastanum
Robinia pseudoacacia
Tilia cordata
Wait for your time.

dream construction kit

[[ well, I'm not sure where this one comes from. Something about bottled up feelings. Literally and figuratively.  ]]

in our dream construction kit

you will find... 

what you need to reach the back 

of your mind... 

every necessary part to 

reconstruct the human heart

figuratively

the pulsing of 

the human heart

figuratively

you build it in a bottle and 

you keep it on your desk

to show your niece and nephew

you were one of them

you were one of them

you were on to them

bottle my soul up 

and throw it 

far, far... out to sea

or 

bury it under 

the roots of 

the fa... -mily tree 

but someday it will come back me,
but someday it will all come back me,
someday it will all...
come back to me

into the wood

[[ it might be trance, drugs, meditation, dreams ]]

nothing else 

only this horse

only

only the horse

only

nothing but this horse

nothing

nothing but this horse

nothing

so saddle up

put on your hat

your hat

put on your hat

your hat

nothing but this horse

nothing

nothing but this horse

nothing

and then hold on

we are almost gone

into the wood

you feel so good 

you forget 

you feel so good 

you forget 

nothing but this horse

nothing

nothing but this horse

nothing

you forget 

you have ever 

wanted

you forget 

you have ever 

wanted food

you forget 

you have ever 

felt this

you forget 

you have ever 

felt this good

you forget

almost

to breathe

people say 

you're wasting

people say 

you waste away

people waste 

their days

saying things

when they could
go with you

into the wood
