lirik lagu sparkbird - arboretum
[verse 1]
toeing a trench
in the mulch between
your patch and mine
i stubbed myself on a treacherous thistle
and i cried out
if it were merely
a matter of a stray th~rny bristle
a barrier screen could be laid
and i wouldn’t miss you
[chorus]
we could go the distance
were there more disease resistance
on your part
nothing lasts forever
when you never
let it start
[verse 2]
every day i pass this way
i expect to find you
waiting for me
beneath the branches
of the buckeye tree
waving a palmetto frond
siphoning orange juice
with a barber pole~ish wand
[bridge]
red horsechestnut?
clever disguise
i, of course, guessed, but
said you’d never naturalize
[verse 3]
species zag as seasons zig
tough to keep plants in one place
any chance they get, they diaspore
or else transm~tate
traipsing looping garden paths
chasing floodplain tupelo
tracing roots to ponderosa
tangling with a strangler fig
[verse 4]
now in an old growth bald~cypress stand
knees locked in the strand swamp
black~ and yellow~crowned night herons
abound in colonies
conferring on me collective memory
my eyelids flutter
orbits fill with water
hemlock in my hammock
limbs thrash, i spit and sputter
alligator drags me under
into the solution hole
[outro]
to protect me from
elements of fantasy
that thrive in shady reality
to offer respite from
the demands of gardening
to show me
trees are just the fruit
of an even bigger tree
