I had stirring in me a quickness, telling me how to feel and act and speak and move I heard a cat's soft whisper purring, assuring me that all that's real is worth essentially the same On a soft autumn day falling as they were, leaves against the wind, I was Watching smoke curl, lifting, furling, against the sky's newly greying page At peace, I thought I'd heard a stirring again, but as it turns out it was just a noise

Hibernacula 04:07
Take my hand, creature of comfort leave your hibernacula, there's no snow on the ground, or anywhere else I fear Take my word, creature of comfort, you're on your own now and mom's nowhere to be found, and the time has drawn near For you, creature of comfort, to claim a stake in the earth of your own, and to take all you're due It's a chance, creature of comfort, I'm selling you a chance to strike gold Or are you a replicated, untested and dead slab of painless stone? Are you a peacemaker, a thousand inconveniences under a rug? Well, I'm a heatseeker missle and I'm on course for your throat Take my word, creature of comfort, the light of day won't grace your eyes again Not unless you plan to run, creature of comfort, run from what you clutched tight when the world could see you, or I might need you, to be more than a painless friend.

Path 02:54
There's a path and to be sure I'll follow you till you follow me It's inevitable, it will be and ahead there's a fork in the trees but see, look and see, neither way is right for me Right to choose, left to be, sure I'll follow you till noon shadows leave in a rush, stretched to cleave, the fading day into half-light reprieve But see, can't you see, the night it's just as blinding to me

Molehill 03:21
Looking down at a molehill, but I'm covered in leaves I could make it a mountain, I won't see for the trees Hanging off of a branch, but, I'm swatting at bees I could level the forest, I could break both my knees Take a dive in the river, hope that no one will see I'll trade comfort for pleasure any day of the week carve a niche on a hillside, spend sublime centuries break my back for an ideal, and I'll never be free toss an old empty bucket, into old empty well steep your mind's old creations in the stories you tell the ghost who lives at your bedside, a phantom outside your reach your problems still just a molehill still to his own is each Catch your fears, rope them up until you can stay your fears keep them stable still you can ride your high horse on top of your molehill

Tumble 03:23
Knowing, what you need is hard Knowing what you want is even harder Knowing what's best is impossible Knowing what's best I'm frozen to the spot Knowing anything save it for the rest We like two kindred lost spirits It's flattering to think of us like this But we, like two dogs chasing cars the thrill of the chase too often our only wish Knowing what's best knowing what is right knowing anything save it for the rest save your very best

I haven't the foggiest idea if I'm far, or if I'm near the kind of resolution that would steer me clear of a life bound by turbulent brooding, I fear That I haven't the foggiest idea why it should matter if I'm not the former, but rather the latter, being a being or being of matter, given that either is rather mad-hatter But I haven't the foggiest idea by what light I could justify the life of proverbial fly-on-the-wall of the edge of the knife cutting through fabric that's thick in the rife sown by those raised on the scraps of the rind and forged in a furnace of far hotter kind

Hesper 04:29
Circle the wagons before evening falls pitch black, track back into night collapses wishes for dragon's fiery maw now gone along till day's next dawn Down in the much stuck in the mire bodily fibers set to expire But with some luck a moonbeam waits virgin ground struck in some new way Circle the wagons before evening falls pitch black, track back into night collapses those wishes for dragon's fiery maw now gone along till day's next dawn beat a new path a lunar walk virtues of the night on deaf ears fall You won't see the light with the sun in your eyes Uncoerced, and not by sight, I turn off the lights
