kayo dot – a pitcher of summer lyrics
one morning, before the leaves began changing
i caught a piece of summer and poured it into a pitcher;
this i placed in the cellar on a shelf collecting dust .
autumn, then winter, rose up from the sea, and my
garden was a garden filled with unbroken snow.
no flower strained its face to the ice giants’ whisper,
no life coloured the vision of a newborn spring babe.
my cellar-water dripping into a pail
and i lifted my piece of summer
like a piece of memory or a dream
like these, caught on film
and carried it to the garden floes,
the wind turning drifting stars to madness.
poured forth gracefully, this ætheric tincture
lifts winter’s coat-of-arms with coaxing aromas and electricity.
used with vigilance, a pitcher of summer stirs a memory into swooning,
and bravely, the flowers of the past will stretch their limbs into the sky
while snow falls quietly all around.
