Annotated songs across an entire year; John's (song)Book of Days

for #ds106 with This Year: 365 Songs Annotated (A Book Of Days) by John Darnielle (of Mountain Goats fame)

The tree bark's a map of lines leading up, like vines; each path ends at sky

A long whispered sigh signals itself from the glass carafe on the kitchen counter as the small pot of coffee gurgles its way to a stop; I fill a mug, take a sip and begin to write

for #ds106

Almost a baseball buried beneath the soft ground, the turnip surprises

Extinguished candles dancing in rhythmic patterns of soft soot and smoke

One leaf on the tree refuses to snap and fall – rage against the change

Slow thaw – a slow drip of words that come from somewhere inside a locked box

A burst of the cold traveling through winter clothes, we hug ourselves warm

Snow melt happens, slow - a barren head pokes through as crown of winter grass

Some things don't need clocks - You start them up when you can then come around, stop
