I.7
If only for once it were still.
If the not quite right and the why this
could be muted, and the neighbor's laughter,
and the static my senses make-
if all of it didn't keep me from coming awake-
Then in one vast thousandfold thought
I could think you up to where thinking ends.
I could possess you,
even fro the brevity of a smile,
to offer you
to all that lives,
in gladness.

I'm really into this lovely band, my internet isn't good enough to do a bit of research but so far I've been enjoying their Prepared Piano album and Ferndorf. Playing November 19th in The Sugar Club, must buy my ticket soon to avoid the Grizzly Bear disappointment situation.
