lyrics

How to say this right, you are my sister true.
Your desert dreams find me here on this roof, where
a blue tarp is forever flapping at my feet, like
a single wave returning to the shore.
I want to see you happy. I want to see you whole.
I want to see you untangled from everything that stole from you.
We both found the light from so many false moons.
Let them now be conquered, let the light pass through.
Sister K,
I've seen you fall. I've been your guard dog.
And I have failed you a number of times.
Apothecary songs to sing to the desert night,
this worn-down body, my burnt-out mind.
We both share a belief in magic, the power of poetry,
in love to heal all things.
They don't make ones like us anymore.
