I walked down off the trail
Onto the wet leaves
And rotting wood
Under mossy branches
And stood listening
An airplane came from the west
The sound of a house's door
Teenage girls from the north
Faintly in the almost black light
A tiny bird fell from nowhere
Onto the wet leaves
And sang at my feet
And the owls were loud
On all sides of me
They gave voice
To Mount Eerie
The dark unknown wild
Beautiful dark dark
Little bird in the leaves
Fluttered and flew off
When I moved my leg
It flew off chirping
Through the dark forest
Turned around, my brother had left
The airplane circled around to the east
The door closed
And the pregnant house
Just through the trees
With its fire and music
Was afloat on the wide black ocean
Made by the owls that coo in the night
Onto the wet leaves
And rotting wood
Under mossy branches
And stood listening
An airplane came from the west
The sound of a house's door
Teenage girls from the north
Faintly in the almost black light
A tiny bird fell from nowhere
Onto the wet leaves
And sang at my feet
And the owls were loud
On all sides of me
They gave voice
To Mount Eerie
The dark unknown wild
Beautiful dark dark
Little bird in the leaves
Fluttered and flew off
When I moved my leg
It flew off chirping
Through the dark forest
Turned around, my brother had left
The airplane circled around to the east
The door closed
And the pregnant house
Just through the trees
With its fire and music
Was afloat on the wide black ocean
Made by the owls that coo in the night
