thru one thousand words I crawl
watched and eaten by maggots and mole
here beneath county Keweenaw fog
look , her nightgown full of blood drips
oozing , oozing , gasping Lake Superior squalls
lay it all down
lay it all down .
words turned to mural by flying creatures crowd
the furious , frenzied fresco , lake eye sky thunders
words buried , stones too , below the blowing dune
the palace of gods mind a slumbering castle of sand .
see Santero , the saint carver .
lay it all down
lay it all down .
a glistening far far around the fog
I cannot die it sang too high I don’t know why
I don’t know why all the birds on the wing together sing
Allah , Allah , juniper jewels open his mouth
silence , silent screams , swallowed words
lay it all down
lay it all down .
the towns name is Detour
where I long to drink the running deer
arise , arise the weeping poet cries
from the ground musk staying warm
the Sandhill Crane dies .
lay it all down
lay it all down .
crows fall , stones call
lay it all down , lay it all down
pungent , paralyzing scent of grace abides in this misplace .

Great piece meg, and the music is perfectly matched.
“I cannot die it sang too high I don’t know why”- a melancholy core – It all flows as do the figures in the video as they swing, round and round – ‘lay it all down , lay it all down’. – Lovely.x
