lyrics

As California Burns

And hear this
My song of the mountain rolling down
My song of the bay
Waves soft, boats bob
My Song from the hill

Seeking long absent Walt’s Fraternity without gender
Agnostic to sex
To race
Comrades

To the footbridge
To cross our chasm built for ourselves
To remind us where this ridge stops
and
Where that ridge begins

And where would I pass without this bridge?
To it I sing my song of the mountain
My song of the bay
But it needs its own song to be
Lionized

This Bridge
Once considered important
Once loved by its builders

Hear it from me now
Hear it from me now

I sing of you

As California burns,
again
I wonder about how ready to evacuate they must be
Ready
To travel with what they can carry

Dreaming or a streamlined existence
With some clothes
An amp
A guitar
How much more?

Extreme luxury of minimalist fantasy
Easy! When the embers are not flying towards my home
Tinder ready to burst and flame

I am a heavy operation
Significant Footprint
Of needs and valued items
Bring the wife
And
Bring the children
And
Bring the dogs

All that - comes with needs
To be fed
Clothed
Sheltered

The pack list extends past my arm
And boy,
Do we need money

Rolling down to the toll-gate
With the hillsides
Burst into flame
