Crying little rivers in her forearm

As she wanders freely through the forest
Am    Em            G      C
Can I close and open once again?
   D                Em           C
The question that I seek for reassurance

         Hound dogs crowing at the stars above

Pigeons fall like snowflakes at the border
Am        Em                  G       C
She kneels down and holds the frozen dove
D               Em             C
Moon drips like water from her shoulder

Fragile means that I can hear her flesh
