lyrics

There is a cobalt beetle shell mirror
Where my eyes grow young
Where dragonflies rattle around my brain
And I can’t tell if I’ve been stung
The air hangs yellow round the horses
The sloes grow ripe lethargically
And threads of blue fade in like vapour trails
Falling behind you as you speed from me

And you’d say cobalt beetle shell mirrors
Are not for weeping in
But for the sandstone and the sun
Such things for keeping in
Still my lungs howled hollow round the mountain
Old ragged leaves blew in to tamp my breath
But threads of green push in like willow shoots
Itching and heightening back to hungriness
