Fishes 03:09
The fish is in the bed Where the water won’t keep his speckled head From drying up You would dry up, too But a friend’s a friend who always comes The ones you love float over you The fish is on the chair And no water will reach him there So far from sea You’d be homesick, too But a friend’s a friend who always comes The ones you love float over you Foamy wave and algae bloom Barrel down, bringing gloom But there’s always some light left on But a friend’s a friend who always comes The ones you love float over you Salty krill, siphonophore What are all your numbers for But to keep company and be safe? But a friend’s a friend who always comes The ones you love float over you

Old Bones 04:02
You’re a tar pit love is frozen in Your sweet fossils will stand here in thousands of years Diplodocus, deep in rock for us Every ivory bit a beauty Apatosaur in the clay We saw every ivory bit above us Soil and centuries Oh, your bones will go And all of your babies Will build your atoms up And wonder at your motion And know that you were grand In the scaffolding Many skeletons One by one are all escaping

Esses 01:39
Isla, I love your silent S So sublime Isla, a secret your name confesses When it is read Or written out instead Or pictured in my head Among the dreams and dreads Though the word, when it is said Is certain to except The hiss the eye detects There’s a sound you keep as a secret Tucked sweetly away A pearl in your oyster flesh For all your days And no sadness or worry Can fill that space
