Sail Cloth

from The Leaf Maker by Wickerbird

lyrics

i sailed down
upon the cold lake south
til the old lake house,
i neared

rend my mouth,
to rouse the hermit out,
who said his first-born foundered
here




i rowed for
the distant chalk-lined shore
where the magpies moor
and peer

laid my oars
within the pinestraw floor
and walked the arbor for
the seer




and she told me
what she told me...



(she said),

"ah ah ah
my name is summer
my name is winter
my name is fall

ah ah ah
my name is sunder
my name is wither
my name is squall

ah ah ah
my name is autumn
my name is sodden
my name is thrall

ah ah ah
my name's forgotten
my name is flotsam
my name is all"
