One time one dove
Brought back twelve crows
Twelve men undone
Ravens to songs
Sweet bird wake up
It's your tale, your song
Sing high, sing low
Twelve times, twelve more
One time, I know
We'll fly, fly home
Sweet bird wake up
Send back your song

You came to take us home

Bird
Under your tree
Hidden from space
Lingers a face
Are you afraid?
What do you see?
Is it a foe coming for me?
Or do you see this face in you and me?
Bird
Under the storm
I see a form
Looking at me
Aren’t you scared?
What do you see?
Are we prepared?
For what is to be?
Or do we see their faces as you and as me?

(based on Emily Dickinson's poem)
Hear the calling of a wild bird
And it perches in my soul
Singing tunes that left her words
Lingering after the cold
Heard it clearly in the evening
Clearly through the gales and storms
Singing old songs that have kept
Many many people warm
So please, oh! please bird promise me
You'll spend some time with me

We’ve been sitting here for so long
Seems it’s going on for (twelve) years
Time will not be waiting here
Water still be running down
Cycles bring what cycle’s stir
All year round
Life won’t always happen here
Life is just what happens now
Meet you at the stream my dear
While we can

XII Epilogue

|
One time
One dove
Brought back
Twelve crows
Sing bright
Sing low
Send back
Your song
Goodbye Birdo
You’re going back home
Beyond the dawn
Tale told, wind blown
Goodbye Brido
Send back your song
