Ain't We A Pair
The waves of clay lies
they packed all around the box
they prepared for us
all point to winter
and the ice cutting angel
at least where they say
anything at all.
That's what we get for standing
apart.
You snatch stars
in your simple way.
I'm clouds. I cover the moon
as best I can, love.
Sure. The fix is in.

Brenda said she chose these words as part of the lyric of the song Family, written by Pierce Pettis and sung by Dar Williams. Dar often covers worthy song writers and is also herself one of my all time favorite young song writers. She is no slouch as a singer either. Go here for a compelling duet of Family by Dar and Francine Wheeler. Francine lost her child to the Sandy Hook shootings yet she is able to stand and sing a solid part with Dar in this performance. Of course the audience is flayed wide open. Chances are you will be too. I was.
Excellent combo...

ReplyDeleteEarly refrigeration was a pest as it was hard work in winter only to see food finally spoil by mid summer.
