lyrics

this goes out to moms and pops, to ancient matriarchs who couldn't help but make magic at their talks late at night, just tellin' how it happened, and to fathers of old who spoke so slowly they were never heard, the weight of their words was light compared to the look in their eyes, but the look in their eyes did not burn quite for the coolness with which they moved, like huge stones under dark water, like the glaciers that so patiently cut and carved the face of the world.

we have learned a lot, ruttin' around in the mud that we called lovely. the seeds down here taste sweet and the roots smell good, but the undersides of the flowers and leaves have drawn our eyes up and out so that we have reached our fingers toward our origin. each and every constellation wants to lick at the lines of dirt on my palms, and i let them; i give it to them freely. take me up and out! but having kept most of my body behind, stretch just this little bit thin like a wire so that i might tether the earth to the sky; for i am only one of many fine threads, so many sisters, singing together, we have cast our net into the night. we will not be lost down here.
