lyrics

You have told me to sit down
and i sat at your grey banks
your rocks established a reflecting place
wide gold water pouring
i am alone an not alone
with you today
my own great ghost is here
my own great ghost is here
with me
years ago we came to you succor creek
knowing the world together
as you
i walked through you
and he held my shoes
and so it was before
i think we could have lived outside forever
but the aching world with all the anguish pulled us back
and we had to make money
and have jobs
and pay for the groceries and the place
along succor creek you run boldly
even when i thought you must be dry in sept 2020
here i am and you flow gorgeously goldly
with volcanic eyes you watch me
from your high canyon sides
and i flow tears to you
and have an announcement
and i flow tears to you and have an announcement
he’s gone
off with some new one
and me alone
with my questions and my queerness and my heart so raw and hungry
i’m with you succor creek
and so many other beings by your side
i hear them calling
and i feel their intertwining all around me
i feel their intertwining all around me
i wanna know can i be part of you
will you
hold a part of me forever
on your banks
of which i’ve often dreamed
alder trees with their roots showing
show me how to be
succor creek
show me how to be
succor creek
