ignorance lyrics
i was woken up in the early morning, after my flight
by a sound i could not grasp, i did not recognize
running like water, two toned, and tangled
like a briar holding many sounds all at once
“it was a magpie,” you told me as you handed me a coffee
the black and white bird you see in city parks
and you pointed out the window, looking straight in at me
a black and white bird sitting on the fence
i thought about the man who called it a magpie
confronted by the great expanse of his ignorance
he wanted to name it, to detain it forever in that small phrase
it seemed likе a shame to give it a name
but thеn again, i don’t understand anything the way i’m supposed to
i drag every river for meaning, scr~pe my hand on every ceiling
i never know what to say or not say
what to honour or betray in any given day
but i never got used to the sound of the magpie
it set my skin on edge, it called like a child
like a dog, like the wind caught in a fence
when we talked, it interrupted
and i would never know what it meant
