#5 of 20.

continuing the virtual housewarming for the new album with a closer look at the fifth room.

a gentle reminder that CDs are available through bandcamp, both of “volume 2: run with the silent wildfires” and also volume 1.

a strange story that i’ve put off sharing for three years coming tomorrow. only sharing this here so that i actually maybe post it, finally.

for now: hope weaves golden blood.

love,

eric.

volcanic crater
ancient in your youth
crystal visions
waiting to come true
someday
we all learn 
what we already knew

the time we’re counting on
is soft

but it won’t bend
or offer islands
i’ve heard of frozen frames
at the event horizon 

where hope weaves golden blood
golden blood

but maybe just to swim’s enough
to gild
the iron waves

far northern morning 
pockets lined with jewels
windswept
first steps
kite strings off their spools
sometimes
we don’t need reasons to break
the rules

the time we’re counting on
is soft

but it won’t bend
i still hear sirens
breakers at the edge
of the event horizon 

where hope 
weaves golden blood
golden blood

i didn’t want to lose you love

maybe just to swim’s enough
to gild
one iron wave
