Everywhere You Had Been
We walked out on the frozen lake and followed the lines of the cracks in the ice to a place that we knew wouldn't breakAnd we lied down with your legs wrapped in mineLike two evergreens with branches intertwined; red spruce, white pine.I got so cold I walked back to the shore, but you stayed on the lake to exploreAnd I guess the ice was thin cause it caved inIf you hadn't started now, then you'd never beginAnd where you had gone was everywhere you had beenAnd a sudden sorrow enveloped the windWhale's tooth, snail's skin.I came back when a year had passedI walked carefully to where my memory remembered seeing you lastAnd I lied down, my legs quite cold and tight in the solitary lightThat only exists in the winter at nightAnd I heard a voice coming up from the white, so I put my ear to the ice...I've come to tell you what I know I've seen inside a frozen ghostAnd there's a place in every soul all made of songs of long ago
