Hollow 04:53
follow me into the hollow i've found somethin better saw them on my way to walden wanderin through the heather follow the nesting of the swallow arrested for the weather saw them in the fog departin forts of straw and feather follow me into the hollow i am somethin better saw them rollin logs from walden severed from their tether follow we the ones who wallow in fancies of the yester saw them in the garden stalkin never knowin, never follow me follow me follow me follow me

The Harbor 03:31
take another step i could know you take another breath i will hold you i could own you i will own you take unto the depths i will go through take the wood i left it will show you i once told you i was cold too
4.
loose my moorings the long night's shorin for winter through the pourin my folly's forgings have withered down from the pasture the woodlings will gather, out hither the owl: our pastor, the pines all round her: the scripture thank god all she lost was rotten ma fell in her wits besotten traded all her dresses in for pennies loot my quarries for stones theyve told me are precious tell me stories of hoary ghosties all restless down through the rapture the something i'm after is estrous the bear the badger will sleep in rafters above us thank god all you want is wanton in our hidin' place forgotten I'll keep throwing sorrows down your shoulders thank them both me and my brother runnin from the well midsummer tumbled down; the hills drank all our water

Fay Warer 03:55
sister molly told me to run so i ran so far away heard them calling and fled from the sun in the dark it's all okay fay warer fay warer fay-- look what you've done and the bones in the ground are just about gone broke my bread in caverns and coves on tables hewn from stone spoke in thread i'm ever alone and i'm yoked by what I've known fay warer fay warer fay-- my only bride we've not buried our blight but it's time to subside

about

--------------------

This is a quiet post-script, long lost and forgotten in the frost.
This is motion rather than respite, expedition rather than stagnation.
This is a breaking of camp at evening,
the outset of a sojourn into the night.
Rather than flee the advancing Winter and return home yet unsated and fearful,
this is my embarkation into the yawning pines and the monsters that writhe within it.
Haunting, deathless questions of life.

This is the dying sun,
laying down in the west,
yielding to the night.
This is the beginning of a journey in the dark.

There are deeper woods yet.
