lyrics

Jokes about mortality
Pair well with orange-spiced cuisine,
I laugh and tip my head to see
I’ve forgotten to speak jovially

With measured patience I defer
“The Bible,” filmed by Ken Burns
Your melodies are from pagan rites
Yet u marvel at this brightest light

Counting crows with broken digits,
Your sky, burnt black, lazy frigid
Consequent Your loving grace
I’ll try to grow in this shrinking place

Is this what You want?
Where I should be?
I nod my head in prayer,
My hands are all I see

I raise my knife to offer my dreams
Waiting for You to halt my deed
Or an Angel sign or a falling leaf
God I pray these signs don’t construct my belief

The Year of the Tiger, I kiss its feet
With knees positioned “...Over the Sea,”
And two years past, wrapping hands around
Parchment where You’d etched these plans
