about

A Cool Moon (2017)
One thing I like to explore in my work is how simple everyday moments are full of magic and wonder. In this case, I explore the liminal space while walking between the basement of band practice and my car on that first brisk night of winter.

lyrics

a cool moon
lights through a biting wind
trees are bare and the air is crisp
like a perfect in-season apple

it’s juicy icy crunch helps me remember
spring and summer
and the time it took for it to make it’s way
into my hands

I walk to the car door
over grass and weeds going dormant
things are moving slowly
breathing in enjoyment

my skin quakes and shakes
under the starry night
anyone watching from their warm houses
would see a dark and cold sight

I start the car and turn on the heat
it seems a place to store meat
it idles rough, the lights don’t work
the engine coughs and sputters with a jerk

as I drive off the moonlight is bright
and warm enough to get me there

a cool moon lights through a biting wind
a cool moon shows me the way home
