Mount Eerie
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
the possibility that if I stopped clapping
2
my hands in the void
3
I would notice that I can't hold on to things
4
and
5
the possibility that if I stopped using my voice
6
I'd notice songs that, all around me, sing
7
looms in weather,
8
lives buried in my days,
9
with all my songd and rhythms going like
10
the darkness surrounding a flame.
11
It's what I don't say with my mouth.
12
It's my mouth open
13
to breathe in.
14
It's open windows.
15
Still, I will go on and on describing the shape
16
around the thing I want to but can not name,
17
in song
18
and, though my long life feels busy
19
and full of usefullness and drive,
20
I will sleep through every single dawn
21
and those I see I will not really understand.
22
I will sing through every single song
23
about the spaces left when we stop singing
24
and I will sing this
25
with longing.
