letra de he - hayden thorpe

(he nears ness. he moves through the marshes much as mud might. you couldn’t call it walking. this march matches no known gait. he pours himself forwards; pours, sets, melts & pours again, in a looping flow, learnt part from otter andpart from water.)

he nears ness, he moves through marshes
this march matches no one’s gait
he pours himself forwards
skipping looping flow learnt from otter
willow weaves in him, weaves him in
roots and leaves making and remaking
his bones with ceaseless invention
a throng of bird song in every direction

wrens’ notes sharp as needles sewing thread
blackbirds ch-nking like pennies on glass
kew-kew scold of buzzards, clack of skua
the godwit’s call which is red and gold
and ever the jag and haggle of the gulls
and ever the jag and haggle of the gulls

so he pours himself onwards noisily
through the woods, the marshes & along the beach
his birds are becoming excited
their songs bright lines looping silver through the air
from within him he can hear oven-bird
hay-jack, mavis, and coddy-moddy
magareen, fulfer, and the rain-bird
all singing the high notes, the oversong
from within him he can hear butcher bird
shriek-devil, howler, and screech-owl
right in their darkness for what’s going on
all singing the low notes, the undersong
wrens’ notes sharp as needles sewing thread
blackbirds ch-nking like pennies on glass
kew-kew scold of buzzards, clack of skua
the godwit’s call which is red and gold
and ever the jag and haggle of the gulls
and ever the jag and haggle of the gulls
