lyrics

nests in the broke down cars that sleep in the trailer park gathered twigs and silvered rings and the people just waking up to their daughters and stale coffee cups and all the glaciers going gone Well i dredged up loam i dredged up exposures took when i was 4 of a stranger dressed in silk and bearing urns of ocean floor oh dry harbor I lay upon your belly half asleep and i sift through crates full of sand and childrens shoes cigar boxes full of fish bones and books i gave to you wound cassettes unfurled recordings of when you first learned to speak through tiny teeth breath thick as milk and that deep deep blue flashlights in mouths we crawled on hands and knees we tied our lights to twine unraveling and watched them as they sank into the deep bodies fed by glaciers til they're going gone and you find only sea only sea
