Bb majorBb E MajorE BB Bb majorBb

Bb majorBb
I stayed inside all morning
G+G
watching waves of rain pass over
FF
cold and dry by the window

I didn't turn a light on.
   Bb majorBb
The fireplace dead since last night
G+G
emptiness inside, cold morning
FF
low grey sky immense living belly

of a silver fur thing.
  Bb majorBb
In waves of weather the house lies
G+G
piled up wood with me inside
FF
I'm piled up dust, alive, dreaming

or walking whirlpool of water
Bb majorBb
awake and indifferent
      G+G
looking at cars go by and then get forgotten
 FF
only a sound of a waterfall breathing out

in one long exhale
Bb majorBb
rings in my ears for a moment
G+G
then another wave of rain blows over
FF
greying out the light

the lawn through window seems undiscovered.
  Bb majorBb
A augmentedA separate way of seeing.
  G+G
A augmentedA separate way of breathing it in.
  FF
A augmentedA lost world separate from the usual

barely meaningful waking and dreaming.
Bb majorBb
Lost in an unfolding
G+G
thinking about what to do with a day
FF
sitting while the light dies

until finally it's over.
  Bb majorBb
In blue dusk I finally step outside
G+G
breathing in the cloud that has settled
FF
noticing a black looming house shape

and at last my eyes crack open.
