Leaves of Grass

from Wicked Mountain by King of the Tramps

/

lyrics

You say there’s time
What is time?
Time will tell on us all

The skies will fall
let them fall
oceans boil with disregard

Like Leaves of grass
This too shall pass
even diamonds turn to sand

These earthly binds
They chain your minds
Unlock what you know is inside

Won't take away
still can’t stay
footsteps are all you'll leave behind

I keep going back to that place in the Sonoran desert
the time is lost now. Escaped.
7 of us seeking circles, found a fire ring in the foothills
off the highway, where the ghosts cruise by on horseback

seeking curiosity, we built a fire
amongst the beer cans and ashes, the bones of an old parties

we now numbered 6
the stories flowed unusually well as if magic had taken hold

we paired off to find more juniper to fuel the fire and there were 4
the red rocks seemed to laugh at us and tease us to find comfort in their unfolding fissures deep

Mark named himself Mandu and there were 3
we stopped to feel the small Anasazi handprints surprisingly warm in the cool cliff wall

Two remained
Jess and I
We sat with our backs to the fire
Feeling sleepy we danced around the fire like desert jelly fish, embracing cacti shadows
Then there was 1
Jess… Jesss.. Jessssss.
