Fear of the unknown and The Blazing Sun - Colin Stetson

Of all the wires

It was the wires

That were the wires for empathy

That we guard

Beyond

All

The others

Of all the wires

It was the wires

That were the wires for empathy that

We loved beyond all the others

The sound of that much life

Streaming in

Ghosts made of smoke, and paper trees

And dogs travel back and forth between the rocks

Between fear of the unknown and

The blazing sun

(Though there is stillness I can feel your heart beat)

(Though I can’t see you I can hear a sound)

So tell your secrets to parrots

(Through the veil I feel your hand near me)

To your lost father and to his father and to his father

(Reaching through to the other side)

In this conversation itself, just the substitute for

(Reaching through to the other side)

Whistling

Words, rattle

(Reaching through to the other side)

Blowing on puffs of air

I feel it
