Written in fall of 2010, sort of a day dream. Entirely enamored by something new.
Can also be found on the Third Annual B3nson Family Funsgiving Compilation.
lyrics
A thousand burning filaments
that radiate and light the room
I'm a darkened doorway
and I can't break my glance from you
Your consonants that melt together,
weakening my knees
Your vowels dance, oh
how I pray they take the lead
I'm a clam ascending in the clutches of a seagulls beak
only to be shattered on the rock
and devoured on the beach
I do not belong between the seas and salted sky
It was never writ for me to attempt flight
It were the waves who betrayed me
when they cast me off to die
but I can't say that I never wondered why.
