Lyrics
Old dry thigh, northern flicker
It’s no lie I tried to love her
We were babies far from mother
Mountains higher than each other
The shape of your strange name:
Rocks to cotton moth wings
The water in your eyes:
Pacific Northwest open skies
No bark, no bite
I’m a shell of a former life
All bark, no bite
I’m a ghost of a past life
Now you swing your lantern home
The valley did not hold us long
But I still swallow your name
Tender leaf, razor blade
Old dry thigh, northern flicker
It’s no lie I tried to love her
We were babies far from mother
Mountains higher than each other
