lyrics

Entropy; old friend I wondered when
Next we’d meet

You and me; two obstinate lovers with
Fists and teeth

And what if I stood on the bow
Looked off all the waves
Invited the depths

Would you swim up on the swell
tender and brave
delivered from death

Marjorie; cut from her mother and
Sent upstream

in the creek, a one-legged buzzard
came down —— and offered relief

and was she a terrible child
angry and wild
deserving revile

or maybe just borne of the stream
earning her keep
alone in the reeds

the buzard came down to the creek, calls marjorie as she speaks through the limbs of the trees

he pulls her up into his wing, leg in the breeze as the storm carries over the sea
