lyrics

I was walking from the curb
to the moon when I saw
there, looming, the face of an owl

just like the one we saw greeting
us like a headline, it beat its wings
seventeen times, singing, stinging in our ears

Chorus:

The war goddess seems to be
the harbinger of electricity
birds stitch their microphones
we all were wasting time alone

Some nights, grapes grow
along my lips in rows and rows
they stitch the skin with winding vines

In the morning I’ll wake to them
falling to the ground, splashing open
into cool white wine

We will hide in a garden
underneath the leaves
among the plants and feathers we…(again)
