about

originally released September 2008 on 'A DISASTER (turtlebugg)'

lyrics

rains that fall in torrents, floods,
mix with soils to make the muds,
trickle down and then they flow
through the gutter to the Big Sioux.

their lives move in one direction, only,
and cohesion makes it lonely.
of course, of course, some circle back
in eddied currents, or winds that pass;
evaporate to try again
to be absorbed by the Great Plains.

fires will glut on leaf and bone,
the very bulk from which they're born.
appear at once, then desist;
through short, momentous lives, persist.
flames will consume, and then they die,
sworn in waste they leave behind -
that coal of black and ash of gray
that the winds will blow away.

i put my roots down very deep
so that when injured, i may leap
back into growth when sun returns,
or after smoke from prairie burns.
old men cry while children play,
floods will rise
and flow away,
floods will rise
and they will flow away.
