lyrics

Open wide the brightest of eyes
That I could sight in imagination
Giggle with that pearl of laughter
That I might hear beside the ocean

Were you born between constellations?
Did you kick in the morning light?
The happy bodies, the deepest spaces
The aureole of the womb and child

To hold you
I wouldn’t be sad to hold you
I wouldn’t be sad to hold you, Avery

I will love you with every morning
With every meal and piece of clothing
Both heart’s waking and distress
Will find you safe beside my breast

To hold you
I wouldn’t be sad to hold you
I wouldn’t be sad to hold you, Avery

Sweet, sweet
Sing blessing to me
Avery, sweet

This is a free-for-all. ... more
