the clearing - william bolcom lyrics

Loading...

the dog and i push through the ring
of dripping junipers
to enter the open sp*ce high on the hill
where i let him off the leash

he vaults, snuffling, between tufts of moss;
twigs snap beneath his weight; he rolls
and rubs his jowls on the aromatic earth;
his pink tongue lolls

i look for sticks of proper heft
to throw for him, while he sits, prim
and earnest in his love, if it is love
all night a soaking rain, and now the hill
exhales relief, and the fragrance
of warm earth. . . . the sedges
have grown an inch since yesterday
and ferns unfurled, and even if they try
the lilacs by the barn can’t
keep from opening today

i longed for spring’s thousand tender greens
and the white*throated sparrow’s call
that borders on rudeness. do you know—
since you went away
all i can do
is wait for you to come back to me
