Water Came And Cooled Us All

by Coo & Howl

/
1.
Daughters inside Oh, little ideas of them now All that implied happiness Hiding in the atoms Of how I have been feeling Sealed in every pretty passer-by Happiness moves like starlight Across millions and millions of years By the time it gets to me The source is gone I got distracted and, For a minute there, Froze like a great big, blue heron And watched you move closer I was refracted In that salty inlet water Distorted, but still whole Bent, but bent toward you We could have been a different thing And held on to keep from getting cold Or growing guarded But I am a fixed point around which things revolve And you are in orbit around another fiery light
2.
I dreamed a girl and left her stranded Halo, wings and all All lit up And tangled in eyelashes Music sours on the staff In the days between summers Head and stem I warble to blanket the sound And let off my love like steam Let it go Let it go Let it be gone Music sticking to the side of the car ??? an open window Eyes shining aquarium glass Let only a little light through
3.
You were weightless and sea dragon-shaped Undetectable as you drifted Impossible anywhere but here Where you fit with jigsaw precision For a fiery spell A disaster invisible against other disasters For a fiery spell Cannot come to shine on What’s burning in your wires Or cut the fuse off at the spark And stop what keeps on coming From reaching its mark I’m a flower when my tentacles spread I open wide for you Flushed red when we were fused Mapping the tender places If only for a fiery spell I’ve a beak and a terrible bite That goes deeper than we do

The Fish 04:10
Rain makes ripples that hide the fish Umbrellas bend their spider legs In the wind we’re laughing in Beer in our bellies No love, just lightning Seeing through green aquarium water All my lives in silver shoals, shining Some with zigzagging scars And iridescent scales Some with slicing sails Shooting through the fog Our breath made on the glass Don’t it make you want to keep me from dividing?
6.
Up & Shining 01:08
Oh, someone come and eat me up I’d boil in the belly of Whatever word means all that love At the water line Without our clothes And the sun coming up And shining on the waves
