lyrics
If I live long enough to live
As long as I have again
I’ll write it in a paperback
Call it “There & Back Again”
A wink at the fable
Of mountains and magic
Not all that far off from
A life spent in transit
Some words on the wilderness
From a failed high school poet
With half written metaphors
To buffer the sadness
Erase the names
Sub out the date
Blur out the passage
Those years in the forest
When I foraged and forged my own truth
Conjure a ghost I once knew
These days it’s uncertain I’ll ever leave Michigan
Been bound by a spell or some incantation
I gaze in the absence from a park bench near a campus
With eyes still wide open
I channel and I drift
To a place through the evergreens
Out in the morning breeze
My breath in the air
The dark wood before me
Somewhere in the firmament
Or how I imagine it
The crunching of snow summons me to the present view
I got to listen to some of these songs live during Origami Angel's tour in 2022, which was a really cool experience. I loved them enough to buy a CD!!! KZDEX
