Thick-skinned chameleon
Climbs the curtains hanging on the wall;
The only living ghost to grace the hall.
Meanwhile on the battlefield,
Another soldier boldly bites his tongue;
The only noble thing he's ever done.
Step one: wake up,
Now open your eyes,
Now float to the window,
Open the blinds,
Now nevermind
The cold shiver on your over-exposed spine
Still lying on the bed where you left it,
Soaking up the sleep from the mattress.
And that's it;
Feel your way to the kitchen,
Bring the milk to a simmer,
Spill the sugar on the surface of the counter,
Thin-skinned calcium sipper.
Listening to Shallow is like reading an Emily Dickinson poem: I can never guess which word will come next or what the rhythms of speech will be, but I’m startled and in awe at the directions they take. It feels like she is slowing her life down so she can trace her way back to her essential self, wresting beauty from ugliness and healing from heartache. I’m just a finger pointing to the moon. Listen if you can. It’s a special album and a wonderful offering to the world. Thank you Sea🤍 richardc2
