A bird & a vessel


Sound needs a container.  We need voices.  The kitchen requires a place for its spoons & knifes.  Pens
carry their houses on this backs.

  1. Rip Tide

    The world is burning up
    and children are walking the deserts
    to escape the fire from the sky
    A great white whale washed up on Pier 39
    and sea lions swell on the beaches
    we walked at dawn
    The old man who grows tomatoes
    no longer walks his big black dog
    The glaciers are melting
    The seas are rising
    The garden is browning
    The world is burning up

    and yet the words keep flowing
    the rain must be sometime showing
    and you, my friend, keep going--
    we all just carry our houses and our dreams
    on our backs
