This place that we made,
we filled it up with little things
we thought would bring us joy.
They only brought us shadows.
The time that we gave,
we broke it down in tiny little squares
and marked each one with half an x,
the other, too final to bear.
Flick, flick, flicker.
The smallest part of everything resounds.
We disappear in love so sheer
it catches light as it rebounds,
catches light and turns it into sound.
Flick, flick, flicker.
The love that we made,
we hid it all away in books and boxes --
a basement full of evidence,
a record of impermanence,
this case will never close.

STORM CHASER
Whose burden are you?
Whose burden, whose dream?
Whose sanctuary,
whose sacred ground, whose secret garden?
Whose habitat, whose habit?
Whose habit are you?
Whose habit am I?
If I’m the storm, you’re the one who chases me down.
Whose safe am I?
Whose safety, whose haven are you?
Whose heaven on earth?
Whose earthly home?
Whose wordless tome?
Whose tomorrow are you?
If you’re the doll, I’m the girl who moves you,
who moves you room to room.
Whose minder, whose tender?
Whose tagalong, whose triple threat?
Whose scapegoat, whose great escape are you?
And if you’re the yeti, I’m the one who proves you’re alive.
Are you alive somewhere in there?
Whose indulgence?
Whose convulsions?
Whose bell boy are you?
Whose hell toy am I?
Who’s dreaming me?
Who’s dreaming you?
If I’m the hurricane, you’re the one who braves the wind
to find the stillness within.
Whose veil, whose vision, whose fix?
Whose distraction am I?
Whose destruction?
Whose sanctuary, whose sacred ground?
Whose habitat?
Whose habit am I?

We are falling off our feet
into the blue, blue light.
No - some - any - be
No-one - someone - anyone - be one

Carla Kihlstedt = quality music, to me. This is excellent creative music, wonderfully recorded and mixed, probably my fave for 2017. Early days (first listen), but I'm so enthusiastic I just started typing this after hearing the 7th track (WHAT A MELODY!). Deeply intriguing, emotionally charging and cognitively tickling all of your senses...I absolutely love it! Fans of Sarah Kirkland Snider, My Brightest Diamond, even Bjork, and Kihlstedt of course should check it out...
