about

features vocal chops from a poem by Shira Moolten, "contact"

Dusk and the wet hush of cows' eyes
staring at our souls like a God mourning
a quiet grief at what we've done
comes and goes like a wish
escaping a dandelion. We don't deserve
their gaze, but we enjoy it while it lasts.
The sun sets inside our electric fence.
You and me, we kill something
in the silence Then a song leaks
from a passing car and the moment spoils.
The cows never sit at least when we're watching.
Their rest exists in another realm with
the motion of minute hands moonlight on the door
of your sleeping face. Where knowing disturbs
the fantasy. It starts to rain with a chorus of eyes.

lyrics

a quiet grief
comes and goes
a wish
escaping a dandelion.
The sun sets inside
You and me,
in the silence we steal
from a passing car
the cows never sit
their rest exists
in the motion of minute hands
moonlight on the door
of your sleeping face
a fantasy
it starts to rain
with a chorus of eyes
