Song For Julie

Honig -Song For Julie

I ride up the hill to our nest

I feed you with apples and grass

I nurse you till you can sprout wings

to land on my shoulder in spring

please don t worry

that I m going to leave

take my picture

and lie down to sleep

I picture the heart in her chest

her body and the warmth of her breath

our summer in a series of slides

I hold them up into the light

please don t worry

that I m going to leave

take my picture

and lie down to sleep

please don t worry

that I m going to leave

take my picture

and lie down to sleep

you you you you

please don t worry

that I m going to leave

take my picture

and lie

he down to sleep
