Salt Mines

stretched out to meet
the sea's edge
it lies on either hand
but the river is spent
this house is silent
and I've made amends
but I'm returning to these
foolish thoughts again
my noble cause fades
and feeble in its place
a catching glow
my native tongue delays
to find another way
but it's too late to show
if there's harm left to do in my stead
just let me know
the salt mines are coming
and I'm not around
the grind stone is running
and I won't be found
I've tried my hand
at this debt that I've made
and if there's harm left to do in my stead
I won't delay
what dream did i run out to seek a line on the wind
the dust in it's wake might soon return it to me

a voice like dry leaves
calls me up the mountain
and I'm glad to see the evening come
the sun is out as late as I'm gone
up to the sill the kettle sang
the stone floor as cold as ice
rouse up a little flame
of wood smoke and confidence all the same
lost in the crowd
on the heels of a lark
that splits at the seems
if I try too hard
and all the while
this heaviness is lost on me
by chance I'd see
what I'm supposed to be
the wind runs out the candle flame
the smell of dust in the moonlight
and in that dream I made a crown
the kingdom never lost but not found
a room of mirrors
a constant reminder of how little I've done
Oliver, I'm not a young man

animal
your darkness is in bloom
blocking out the moon within your reach
your folded hands
in your cross lap
struggle back to hold my cheeks
get on
another way
which is the lovelier sound?
your voice or the springful ground
shakes and laughs at the weight of my words
they dance at the thought either way
you didn't want to stay
the charming lake
where the grass bows at the wind
there you still would sleep beside me
but the money is gone
and the lake is dry
not an eye in the room could say the same
