Black Feathers

Fascinating spirit creatures
Spirits in my life
Early spring smells and breezes
They are in full raven bloom
 
Br
Watch them fly!
Over you and I
Hear them laugh!
On the grass
 
Ch
Cackling and gurgling, laughing from the tall trees
Gathering on the bright green grass
Black feathers, black feathers!

Br

Hitchcock saw them and made them into stars
Damaging their reputations
They hang out in murders
As we project on them

Ch

Instrumental
 
I know better, these creatures are my friends
Extensions perhaps of me somehow
Hopping on branches and flitting from tree to tree
 
I feel a kindred joy having them around
My spirit flying, hopping, flapping, clapping, with them, as them
I’m not collecting or capturing
Just accepting and allowing them to be, here, now, now
 
Out
