ocotillo (for nick) - loone lyrics

i saw your body
spill out like a timber line
i felt my body
as needles and pins to your pine
unravelling lines
of mountains and spines
frayed into flight
and hung
from the trees
we lay beneath

you smelled smoke
from my body burning on a beach
i felt hope
from your body bending towards speech
shaking like geese
seeking out heat
or feeling

found out too fast
or seeming too vast
with too big a past to stay safe in
there are hands that need holding
i only have two
i wring out their water and bring it to you
to that luminous darkness
emerging between
my head and your head when we are sleeping
and i don’t wanna die there
but do wanna stay
long enough to love that place
can i come to you often
with a weary embrace
can i tend to your tiredness and sing to your strength
dear distant friend
we are here till our bodies end

i wanna meet you there
where it really begins
parting the air
leaning into the wind
i wanna hold your hand
stepping into the dark
i wanna feel the land
that blooms in your heart
there are many roads
we will be on alone
and it’s not true
most don’t lead home
but i will take comfort and joy
in knowing you’re out there too
and sure i might get sad
when i don’t get to see you
but when i do

i’m gonna wrap you in a flame
that burns away every name
the world knew
to use to be cruel to you
