about

In my grief, after the sudden death of my niece, I did not want anything about her bright beauty to fade. I only wanted to make indelible her memory, her poetry, her good works and her spirit.

lyrics

Everything fades
But never your bright beauty

I would climb to touch the sky
Gather ochres, ash and bone
Trace your every line onto ancient stone
Over and over

I’d swim deep into the sea
Gather shell, driftwood and string
I’d call your every line, until the waves could sing
Over and over and over

I would camp out on the land
Gather salt and blood and dew
I’d chorus with the birds, until your songlines are renewed
Over and over and over

Shake out the sky!
Let it settle round my steely bones

Everything fades
But never your bright beauty
