The Wilder Wise - Thumpers

Warm in the back

Your windows high

Silver trees are ghosting by

And constellations beyond them

Trilogies and cornerstones

Tell me beliefs

Tell me namesakes live on

Hung up as corals and lights

They’ll roll and glide

On their stage like an ocean

And grow us up in their tides

Wilder wise

Bare your claws and climb

Celestial

We’re callow, caught in your skies

Wilder wise

Bare your claws and climb

We draw up lines

Call comets down

We gather planets, pour them out

In the shapes that we know

In the markers that we use to find home

But the lines pull faces

The lights dance selfless

Beyond outer limits

And shore us up for our rites

We brand our backs and throw our arms wide

Hydra

Carina

Serpens

Lynx

Orion

Corvus

Auriga

And sun

Son, bare your claws and climb
