Anonymous asked: Your Ships of Sticks and Twine EP is stunning. I've only just discovered you and so have no idea how old it is/what you're up to these days, but I just really wanted to let you know how much I liked it. You are incredibly talented, please keep doing what you're doing :)

Well thanks! I’ve been in the studio working on a new album. This past weekend I recorded the cello, violin, clarinet, and French horn. The album will be done by late June.

I’m not afraid of love

or its consequence of light.

It’s not easy to say this

or anything when my entrails

dangle between paradise

and fear.

I am ashamed

I never had the words

to carry a friend from her death

to the stars

correctly.

Or the words to keep

my people safe

from drought

or gunshot.

The stars who were created by words

are circling over this house

formed of calcium, of blood

this house

in danger of being torn apart

by stones of fear.

If these words can do anything

if these songs can do anything

I say bless this house

with stars.

Transfix us with love.
