Sea**** - Mount Eerie

[00:04.97]Our daughter is one and a half
[00:10.09]You have been dead eleven days
[00:15.16]I got on the boat and came to the place
[00:19.76]Where the three of us were going to build our house
[00:24.57]If you had lived
[00:29.80]You died though
[00:32.76]So I came here alone with our baby and the dust of your bones
[00:44.70]I can't remember, were you into Canada geese?
[00:54.80]Is it significant
[00:59.94]These hundreds on the beach?
[01:07.09]Or were they just hungry
[01:10.85]For mid-migration sea****?
[01:20.32]What about foxgloves
[01:25.03]Is that a flower you liked?
[01:30.20]I can't remember
[01:34.50]You did most of my remembering for me
[01:41.13]And now I stand untethered
[01:46.35]In a field full of wild foxgloves
[01:50.66]Wondering if you're there
[01:54.84]Or if a flower means anything
[02:00.69]And what could anything mean
[02:05.35]In this cru****ng absurdity
[02:11.44]I brought a chair from home
[02:17.11]I'm leaving it on the hill
[02:22.94]Facing west and north
[02:26.77]And I poured out your ashes on it
[02:31.67]I guess so you can watch the sunset
[02:36.75]But the truth is I don't think of that dust as you
[02:46.37]You are the sunset
