It was a lady
'companied by goat men
Her hair held up the earth
her eyes were dark then
Wandering and loneliness
through switchbacks and history
These frail engines of love
bound to a mystery
where are you now?
I'm falling down
You've led me to a field
Under a widening sky
From time to time the mind runs out
of steam lacking in energy,
These frail engines of love
bound to a mystery
unexplained in the meadow
lay the dead bird
the wind fluttered its wings
mountains are just mountains
the rain dismantles every night
the great wink of eternity
These frail engines of love
bound to a mystery
These frail engines of love
This self-titled debut album incorporates both original phrases and fragments of works by various poets and mystics, including Billy Collins, Ron Padgett, Jim Harrison, Hafiz, Pablo Neruda, Walt Whitman, and others.
