Feathers & Wedges

There's a sound in the stones 
As they each find a home 
There's one over two 
And there's two over one 
In the genes of the lean 
In the furrows of fiends 
The old man knew something 
When he mocked his own means 

There are names that we’re given 
And names we become 
Sounding from bedrock and 
The utterance tongue 
In terms of the words and as far as they go 
I know what you go by 
But who are you now 

And you see me 
On a thin limb 
Far rider 
Little breeze 

You can try to re-fit something solid and old 
Interrupting perfection with consecutive holes 
Creating a fault intending to part 
But feathers and wedges aren't for holes in the heart 

And you see me 
On a thin limb 
Far rider 
Little breeze
