Forest Fire (森林之火) - Mount Eerie[00:00:00]
The year moves on without you in it[00:00:19]
Now it is fall without you[00:00:26]
I had to close the windows and doors without you coming through[00:00:31]
I kept them open for as long as I could[00:00:38]
But the baby got cold[00:00:44]
I watched the calendar bulldoze[00:00:50]
This whole past summer was a lingering heat wave[00:01:09]
And I remember late August our open bedroom window[00:01:14]
Going through your things with the fan blowing[00:01:20]
And the sound of helicopters and the smell of smoke[00:01:23]
From the forest fire that was growing billowing[00:01:28]
Just on the edge of town where we used to swim[00:01:31]
They say a natural cleansing devastation burning the understory erasing trails[00:01:36]
There is no end[00:01:44]
But when I'm kneeling in the heat[00:01:46]
Throwing out your underwear[00:01:49]
The devastation is not natural or good[00:01:51]
You do belong here[00:01:56]
I reject nature[00:01:58]
I disagree[00:02:01]
In the hazy light of forest fire smoke[00:02:04]
I looked across at the refineries and thought[00:02:07]
That the world was actually constantly ending[00:02:11]
And the smell and roar of the asphalt truck that was idling[00:02:16]
Just out the window tearing up our street[00:02:21]
I missed you[00:02:24]
Of course[00:02:27]
And I remember thinking the last time[00:02:29]
It rained here you were alive still[00:02:32]
And that this same long heat that I was in contained you[00:02:36]
And in this same heat I open the window next to you[00:02:42]
On your last morning[00:02:48]
So you could breathe and then so you could ghost away[00:02:52]
And now so the room will hopefully[00:02:59]
Stop whispering[00:03:07]
The grind of time I'm not keeping up with[00:03:14]
The leaf on the ground pokes at my slumbering[00:03:21]
Grief walking around severed lumbering[00:03:27]
But slowly sovereignty reasserts itself[00:03:36]
I don't want it though[00:03:45]
And betrayal whines[00:03:52]
Who and how could I[00:03:58]
Live[00:04:04]
