+ | The jacaranda are wet with color, | ||
+ | G D | ||
+ | and the heat is a great paint brush, lending color to our lives, | ||
+ | | ||
+ | to the air, and to out faces; but I'm going to Alaska | ||
+ | | ||
+ | where there' | ||
+ | |||
+ | C G | ||
+ | |||
+ | G C | ||
+ | Up, yes, in the branches, | ||
+ | G D | ||
+ | the purple blossoms, go pale at the edges; | ||
+ | G C | ||
+ | there is meaning in the shifting of the sap, and I see in them traces | ||
+ | G D | ||
+ | of last year, but then they hadn't grown so strong, | ||
+ | G C | ||
+ | and their limbs were more like wires. Now they are cables. | ||
+ | G | ||
+ | thick and alive with alien electricity, | ||
+ | | ||
+ | where you can go blind just by looking at the ground, | ||
+ | D | ||
+ | where fat is eaten by itself | ||
+ | C G | ||
+ | just to keep your body warm. | ||
+ | |||
+ | G C | ||
+ | Because from where we are now, it seems, really, | ||
+ | G D | ||
+ | that everything is growing in a thousand different ways; | ||
+ | G C | ||
+ | that the soil is soaked through with old blood and with relatives | ||
+ | G D | ||
+ | who were buried here, or close to here, and they are giving rise | ||
+ | G C | ||
+ | to what is happening. Or can you tell me otherwise? | ||
+ | | ||
+ | I am going to Alaska, where the animals can kill you, | ||
+ | G C | ||
+ | but they do so in silence, as though if no-one hears them, | ||
+ | G D | ||
+ | then it really won't matter. I am going to Alaska. | ||
+ | C G | ||
+ | They tell me that it's perfect for my purposes. | ||
