It Pushes Back

lyrics

Here under low gray sky
Endless fields stark white
Buried trail no map no key
Frostbite shock
Lie down and sleep
Here
Under heavy clouds
Here
Under falling snow

Needle ice frost flower
Bare branches snow shower
Cold snap wind chill
Hoarfrost soft rime ice castle

Draw the line
The edge dividing me from not me
Is it enough to keep from bleeding through?

I dream of electric blankets and radiator smell
I dream of clear skies and sunrise orange glow
I dream of January thaw
And birdsong

Damp earth sap rising
Melting ice crocus bloom
Skin flushed tissues perfused
I dream my way back home
I dream of you

I walk the boundary
The line dividing me and you
Press and it presses back
Could you draw me through?

Trace the outline
The thing dividing me from you
Push it and it pushes back
Would you pull me through?
