Above, in the Birches

from Emerald Green by Marigolding

lyrics

I’m a killer myself,
but I could use the help.
‘Cause hell would lock us out
just for loving ourselves.

I’m the weight of the world.
I’m whatever you see first.
I’m the blue of the Earth.
Up above, in the birches,
I thought I saw God.

I’m not the watering pail.
I’m the rain that turns to hail
and hurts like hell.

I’m not the deer on the ice.
I’m the second you think twice
and worry you might.

At the sink, in the kitchen,
I stop the water to hear
that crimson cardinal—
eyes grown wide with fear.
And I know its name,
but I’m scared to say—
when I feel what I felt,
I just turn it away.
But quiet to myself,
I start to pray.

At the sink, in the kitchen,
I stop the water to hear
that crimson cardinal—
eyes grown wide with fear.
And I know its name,
but I’m scared to say—
when I feel what I felt,
I just turn it away.
When I see what I saw,
I turn my head away.
But I owe it to myself, I.
