LyricMeaning

Glacial Relic/ Riparian Forest
Bearstorm

Rolling hills are ancient cliffs/ The tallest cliffs are infants/ leaping like yearling rams


We old men bent low/ our brothers live across northern seas/ wrenched apart at birth


One word of our true tongue/ A hundred million years/ a fraction of a single breath/ since your race was born


We once were cold as the north/ tundra and stunted trees/ wolf bear and elk


Retreating ice and our skulls are sanctuary/ our feet in summer but our beards are evergreen and halos of smoke and ice


Below the sky and above the Mattaponi

I seek the nourishment of its beauty

The moon has set early over the marsh


clouds have veiled the constellations.

Fish dart the inky shallows.

The ascending ones submerge their great necks

To take as they please

Winds whisper the stories of the ages

And use the leaves of the trees as their tongue

Their words cool my burning soul

The Lampyridae’s cold light flickers

And hang like lanterns in air
