Vientos De Cambio
It was a briny wind that filled the sails
A seasoned wind that pushed her to a new world
A new life
Teasing her with chills up her legs and dreams of what's ahead
It was a gray breeze that carried her saffron scent to him
Seduced his senses and made him hungry for more
Vientos De Cambio
She is waiting with her raven hair
Black as seeds of the cherimoya
It was a devil wind that blew the sand
A damning wind that shattered her old dreams
How they all lied
Neglected and alone she knew there had to be more
It was a dry breeze that buried her azafran scent in the walls
The Captain smelled her there
Convergent winds arise at night
Black as seeds of the cherimoya
Her change will come
It was a hot wind that filled their nights
A telling wind that brought their secret to him
And now they die
Chained them to a wall
Saffron in the air
The Captain and Mujer Hermosa
Their final breath in the scented wind

The Walking Song

Dust in lungs
red dirt kicked up by boots gone long ago
Feet landing where
feet planted when it was decades ago
Slipping in memories
slipping on the blood
I'm wishing that I had something that's left
this path I've walked for lives and lives and lives
And why?
What I did to deserve this I can no longer recall
Do not follow me (x2)
Damned to walk
Damned to be
Do not follow me
I can't rest but I can't tire
this path goes on but it
washed away ages ago
Do not follow me (x2)
Damn you
Damn me
Do not follow me
Do not follow me
I need to be free
Damned to walk
Damned to be
Do not follow
Don't follow
Do not follow me (x2)

Exeter, Exeter
1892
Would be the last these eyes would see you
Mother Mary waits for me
It's been so long
Sister Ollie calls for me
I must be gone
Father please forgive me I
Never was very strong
Daddy's little girl
Two long months alone
Is long enough
I want to go home
This winter box feels
Oddly like a tomb
But I need to see you
Need to eat
I want to move
To feel the sun warm on my marble skin
I lay in peace once
Still I walk again
Exeter, Exeter
I'm still a part of you
For me it's always 1892
Why Ms.Poole do you look at me like that?
Don't I look fine in my fancy hat?
What did I do to you that was so wrong?
Rip out my heart and burn it on a stone
Brother Edgar come with me
I know it hurts
But you're never really gone
In Exeter

Her Vacant Chair

Your little laugh like a song
It fills the air
Sweetest melody, baby girl
Your little dolls warm your seat
In your favorite chair
Rock them to sleep, baby pearl
I can hear you
Crying out at night
I'll come for you I'll comfort you I'll cry with you
Baby Pearl
I only hear you now at night
Crying softly all alone
I know it's lonely there, baby girl
I only see you in your seat
Rocking slowly on your stone
Your dolls will keep you warm, baby pearl
Many parents, kind and good
Lost to them their little brood
Bless their Maker night and day
Though he took their all away
Shall we therefore murmur where
Standing unfilled one vacant chair

What happens when the signal stops
Buzzer running out the ticking clock
Is there any way to respond
I will listen 'til the break of dawn
Have you heard the signal on the shortwave radio?
They Say its a message from Moscow maybe
40 years of relentless beeping
A dead hand reaction for peace keeping?
Diligent sower
Irrelevant epilogue
Depressing terrain
Bloodless plume
What happens when the signal stops
Buzzer running out the ticking clock
Is there any way to respond
I will listen 'til the break of dawn
What is the purpose
Of this mysterious signal
Digging to the surface
A message to the people?
Encoded cryptic messages decoded on a page
One is for a drill but
Absence the real thing
Absence the real thing
What happens when the signal stops
Buzzer running out the ticking clock
Is there any way to respond
I will listen 'til the break of dawn
Monoliths are always changing
And commands exactly the same
Simple and uncomplicated
All across this depressing terrain

Wires broken
Curses snapped
Into thousands of
Pent up truths
Scalding frenzies
Shocked by ice
Shivering confusion
Swims between my eyes
If the things you want and need
Are no longer here with me
Anthemoessa calls you home
Your path is yours alone
When the tides comes in again
You'll still find me where you left me then
I'll scrape my heart from your boots
And hand it back to you
Stained pillows
Absorb the pain again
Suck my name out of your mouth
Push it back in
Change is the damned constant
The ballast of days
But what is left
When the fulcrum finally breaks

I am a spirt
I once was happy
But
I have been disturbed
You saw me on the fence
Day's light in your eyes did shine
You wanted me to leave
I flew away
But left a feather behind
Soft and black
Shadows on your face
Oh Jack
Got you back and watch me fly away
Oh Jack
Oh Jack
Oh Jack
I can tell you
You're gonna hate me
Oh Jack
Soft and black
My coat, smooth like ice
Oh Jack
Wagging my tail
Betsy seems nice
Should I take her first
Or, should it be you?
What could be worse than to be in your shoes?
You're gonna hate me
You'll choke on your words
and I'll watch you die
Oh Jack did you come just to make me leave?
Oh Jack did you bring them over here
Just for me?
Oh Jack did you know I am..
I am the land?
And I am fauna
I am the cave
I am Tennessee
And your Betsy will be mine
