lyrics

beside dark prong your anatomy protrudes out soft fabric
among hominy and woodland thrush croons
asking if i like chicago or the warmth of the winter
i
sat in the thick of the shade
reshaping that piece i had been sculpting

do you see
the natural beauty?
motionless in the garden and the grass keeps on growing

do you see
the beauty?

air spills over into next season
figs ripen, we dress in a new fashion
i
sat at the edge of the lake
trying to find my reflection
decorated by the shape of time passing
and you
among blackness and thin august edges
choosing when to face the right direction or speak in tone familiar

i see the beauty
staring at you and your form keeps on shifting
do you see the beauty
everything continues changing

bug swarms under streetlight
in the thick of the night
or on morning's blue my biological friend and life surrounding
i
lay in my slightly aged container
and comfort i've created
decorated by the shape of time passing
i am decorated by the shape of time passing
i am decorated by the shape of time passing
