Ghost Heart
Look at it my ghost heart my ghost heart Look at it my ghost heart my ghost heart
I put a knife to my chest I make a thin incision in the skin and pull it back slowly and with care
I use my fingers to hollow through the flesh and scoop out my sick organ
Move it around on your palm notice how quiet it is not even a hum and pale pale as the candles I'm burning from sun up to sun down
Now give it back I must care for it until it is soft again until it sings
Howl
Suckling the skulls of children heartsick for the wolf who left her for the moon
She howls the way he taught her hoping to bring him back though nothing can bring him down from the sky
Suckling the skulls of children heartsick for the wolf who left her for the moon
I Woke Up Wolf
This morning I woke up wolf
not woman but wolf not woman but wolf I woke up wolf canis lupus vuk vik ulv susi varg
I woke up I woke up wolf
I woke up mottled grey fur I woke up dirty
I woke up sharp teeth I woke up heavy head
I woke up moon inside my heart
I woke howling
I woke up I woke up wolf
Run With Us
The wolf he spoke to me and he said what are you waiting for run run with us run with us
The wolf he spoke to me and he said what are you waiting for run what are you waiting for run with us
The wolf he spoke to me and he said what are you waiting for run what are you waiting for run with us
Outside the wolves are singing and I must go there is much to hunt before I sleep before I sleep
The wolf he spoke to me and he said what are you waiting for run run with us what are you waiting for run run with us
So I I ran with the wolves and I sang in their chorus and I knew life again again
The wolf he spoke to me and he said what are you waiting for run run with us what are you waiting for run run with us
The Pale Fox
I told him not to go to the forest that day not to take the pale fox's life away he came back that night with her over his shoulder fur and eyes white as elderflowers
My Mother said your Father will go mad the forest will see to that the forest will see to that.
My Mother said your Father will go mad the pale fox will see to that the pale fox will see to that
I follow the path back to a silent den I find the cubs there, tiny and white I move them down, deep into the earth I fill the den in
locking them deep within locking them deep within locking them deep within
My Mother said your Father will go mad the forest will see to that the forest will see to that
My Mother said your Father will go mad the pale fox will see to that the pale fox will see to that
The fever starts, oh quite suddenly Father goes to bed, to bed for days
He talks of nothing nothing but the foxes that come every day, that come every day
I bury her one night, just inside the woods and that night he dies, my Father dies
My Mother said your Father will go mad the forest will see to that the forest will see to that
My Mother said your Father will go mad the pale fox will see to that the pale fox will see to that
Woman Of The Way
Hands weathered like the ancient cliffs bloodlines painted bright onto her skin outstretched in the rain she brings forward all the memories of forgotten myths
Tracing the knowing on her face maps of times long ago she’s travelled beside many silent footsteps towards paths foretold
She is the oak rain and sun mother to all mother to none from antler to tooth wing and bone she is felt near she is our home
(Lyrics by Meghan)
Wendigo
My Father is late returning home
The sun is soon to set the windows have gathered fresh frost
My Grandfather scrapes the panes clear with the side of his axe
He stands at the window as night falls fast
My Mother she wishes we lived closer to town
She's afraid of the wolves and what they may have done
Grandfather says I told him not to go for I heard the song of the Wendigo
He will come home Wendigo or never or never or never
He will come home Wendigo or never or never
The night is all storms when Father comes home
His face is nothing I know
Through the window we watch him stalking the house
For hours the door rattles before he learns how to get in
