Rook Wood 02:23
Black rook lands on a wide red tile Looks to the trees and waits for a while For the last of the light to escape from the sky And take a flight to the Buckenham wood Up from the field and turning the fen Once round the tower and once round again Close to the river and a long way back The rooks fly black - to the rook wood Owl still sitting on the roof of the barn Chestnut trees and a berry on a branch Two claws turning catching the moon The birds fly black - to the rook wood The birds fly back to Buckenham wood

where will you go - behind the rain where will you be - between wax and wane behind the storm, hidden and closed closed in the world that nobody knows frost and fall, star and night owl and eye, between moon and light north and bear, ice and snow still in the world that nobody knows I’ll go to the place where the lightning sits Where dragons fire and serpents hiss I’ll go to the place where the lightning sits Where the thunder growls and rain clouds mist where will you go - cross and road where will you be - between the world behind the storm, hidden and closed deep in the world that nobody knows sword and edge, witch and craft river and song, between spell and cast tree and bough, rook and crow high in the world that nobody knows I’ll go to the place where the lightning sits Where dragon fires and gryphons hiss I’ll go to the place where the lightning sits Where the thunder growls and rain clouds drift where will you go - loch and sea where will you be - between willow and tree behind the rain, hidden and closed fierce in the world that nobody knows hoof and horn, grass and moor gate and way, between veil and door salt and sea, henge and stone hidden in the world that nobody knows I’ll go to the place where the lightning sits where the thunder growls and rain clouds hiss I’ll go to the place where the lightning sits where gryphons fire and dragons wish I’ll go to the place where the lightning sits where dragons growl and serpents hiss

over the dark comes a light moon bright, silver white, dazzling and from the deep and cold abyss that’s grasped your heart she calls you on follow the silver doe through the winter trees you’ve been waiting for this moment all this time through the prophecy and lonely path you’re treading she’ll always be when everything’s been taken away from you and the weight of loss crashes down when pieces of broken magic lie in the snow she’ll always always - lead you through the dark always - be the light before the dawn from beneath the snow she’ll warm your heart and spring will come - always

One by One 02:57
Scramble upwards, to the breathless sky we are hundreds, we stand high stone in a rindle, hoof on moss down on an antler, a path we lost we go one by one, deer on the mountain always finding, turning round listening scenting, higher ground step on scree, step on grass step on water, tumble past we go one by one, deer on the mountain the ledge is tilted, the ledge is dry scramble upwards, to the empty sky we go one by one, deer on the mountain

horses - white horses salt and seaweed, flanked by dolpins and creatures deep over lash and roar and rainbowed strands with manes of kelp and churning sand whinnying over the swell they come spangled and quickening the earth to drum horses - wild wet horses your shoals of thunder shake my heart my earth sways in your grasp wake me - Father, wake me as the sea holds the earth so my earth - is in your hands horses - a thousand white horses as hoof and fetlock haul the sand lift my head from where I’m bound shake me from this hollow stand this impassive shore and slow slow ground spangle and quicken my earth to drum with breath and trembling - come Poseidon - Lord of the Sea release me - Father, release me release my heart, my feathered wing weed with spangle and breath let me rise from the sea over swell of green and steepled waves with steaming flanks and fireweed braids whinnying over the leaps they come spangled and quickening my earth to drum let me rise from the sea and run with you lead me with your sorcery and the spell deep dreams of the breathing sea
