lyrics

i step over
watery edges

he pulls the canoe
across the ice

she paddles to the edge to collect candles
for her old ones to melt and then drink

you shoot ducks
while it’s still easy.

they gather at the edge
thinking

they gather in the sky
rethinking

they swim towards light
thinking otherwise

sun hits you from above
you melt from the inside out

faint ice as membrane
spreads sound across skin

aabawe the first warmth of spring
aabawe a loosening of the mind
to forgive

we gathered
in the winter lodge
formed from earth
and ice

we slowed
prayed
sang
dreamt

earth below
world above
waiting things out
but together

the upper parts
are exiled to the bottom
the lower parts
deported to the surface

there is euphotic rising
and falling
orbits of dispossession
and reattachment

achieving
maximum density:
39 degrees farenheit

you relax
at the surface
spread apart
cooler holding warmer

regular
repeated
ordered
locked

lake as one mind
