LyricMeaning

Kindling
Brice Randall Bickford

Well I used to have something in me

That needed only to be put out

I was young and lit

There was no end to what I was

Told to take in

Cold

In sick bedclothes and the winter sun

I woke up once

A handful of eras had passed

As time obliged with speed

Extinguishing


All my grand assumptions about

The kind of man I should be

The kind of man I should be by now


Out on the back deck steps

I sat with my narrowness

Chimney smoke in the air


A memory of Kate one Halloween

With her fake fangs out

Baiting rich undergraduates

I loved to laugh at disorder

Until I owned my voice

It was hard enough to not forget


Every year seeing clearer

Derailed my dream

Of saying something new

Eventually

All of my actions have struck me:

They were not much

They were not much more than me

Kindling
