lirik lagu varied thrush – sparkbird
hush! hush!
listen to the varied thrush
the freezing rain has
pushed them down into the valley
with the rest of us
flushed
from the comfortably lush
forest floor
they draw their bows across
serrated edges of
musical saws and crush
the frigid, sharply pointed hearts
of icicles like us
crush, crush, crush
crush, crush, crush
crush, crush, crush
crush, crush, crush
crush, crush, crush
crush, crush, crush
crush, crush, crush…
swish! swish!
the osprey hovers seeking fish
the glassy pond
displays the menu but won’t serve the dish
to birds who wish
to linger when
the air turns cold
defying pressure
to defer to cackling geese
and western
gulls, wish, wish
wish, wish, wish
wish, wish, wish
wish, wish, wish
wish, wish, wish
wish, wish, wish
wish, wish, wish…
who doesn’t wish they could
begin
to leave?
who doesn’t wish they could
believe
in letting something end?
we have these wishes
but we’re hung up
on a superstitious
focus on the family
we see in collared doves
with love much stronger
than we probably
should ever hope
for ours to be
are we a “we are” today?
will we be a “we will be” tomorrow?
were we a “we were” already
long ago?
we don’t know
what price makes sense to pay
so we settle for indebted sorrow
never knowing we could dine and
dash into that nullifying snow
thrash! thrash!
the so*called trash birds
taking baths
betray their cuteness
in the recklessness with which
they lash
their l*strous feathers
petroleum with flecks of ash
in an unseasonable
puddle
glaciating fast
splash, splash, splash
splash, splash, splash
splash, splash, freeze
splash, splash, splash
freeze, splash, splash
splash, splash, splash
splash, splash, freeze
splash, splash, splash…
hush! hush!
listen to the varied thrush
hush! hush!
hush! hush!
listen to the varied thrush
hush! hush!
hush! hush!
hush! hush!
hush! hush!
