lyrics

Rain is a flag

Of no country
Of no place

Wind took the fence

And over bunched
Stone vertebrae of the sleeping sandstone
Giant of grass

Rain unfurls its pennant

It’s an expanse
No one wants and everyone gets

Brothers raise your drones
Fly into the flag of rain
Over the kingdom of no home
And in between spaces
Of the rain globes see the faces

Each wears a mask of reflection
And in these mirrors are drawn
Lines and lines behind lines

Are boxes in which
There are children and ash
And ghost vessels
Circumnavigating a globe of blue yolk

The sailors are all trees
And you can’t tell the men from the masts

This forest flies a flag of rain
And the captain gazes into himself
From the bottom of a droplet of a sea of moss

He salutes his men
Pride of his green navy
Gripping the net
As they climb the rigging of mist
