    Lyrics
    just barely above water


    i. i am itching, pregnant with incumbent summer
    i feel very young
    i am smelling
    the beginnings of honeysuckle
    the beginnings of living in lengths of light

    it is the blossoming in me
    of the knowledge of the need to have our stories heard.

    it is the telling in me
    that has frozen and flowed
    and frozen again in new winter
    and flows slowly now at first... rising... over its banks
    drenched by heave rainfall
    which is the voice of the clouds which convene over my new city.

    ii. i ask simply to be judged on a meter of light.
    it will come from my eyes... like sky in spring
    recognized in an instant theough obscured by clouds all winter:
    it was not forgotten.
    like the sun i have saved myself
    to come breaking through newly thawed windows
    golden, uninvited, welcome.
    fading... restless and volatile
    from traveling all night under lids and lashes
    all my dreams are the movement of light during sleep.
