Ice and Bone

from The Breathing Bridge by Michael Bell

/

lyrics

I remember veils of cold mist drifting through forested hills, and our boots breaking thin sheets of transparent ice, the wet ground pulling at us, and I remember a splash of blood, bright in the snow, and empty bones blackening in the fire.

In the distance before us, on the frozen shore, a glimmering light, a line of smoke rising into the pale morning sky, a house of piled stone. Behind us, the ones who had stopped to sleep, and lingered there, ice and bone gleaming under the stars.

A Loose-Fish and a Fast-Fish, too.

Some of this is music for video games. The rest is a fairly raw document of my ongoing attempt to find something new among the blinking lights in my studio at home.
