it’s only getting lighter

(a song)

we survived the winter mightier

than we were before

only spring can follow

no matter that the icy river 

left us hollow

it’s only getting lighter now 

the spring is on its way 

though winter tried to teach us how 

to doubt the coming day

no matter that I let you go

that I am the canary 

and you are the mine

we co-exist as tree roots float

over place and time

it’s only getting lighter now 

the spring is on its way 

though winter tried to teach us how 

to doubt the coming day
