Cedar from Stoveside by Tasha Zappala

Up, up, up the mountain
Corridors of light, we went on through
Where are you going, what’s there to fear when
Cedar sings, a map we never knew
The arms of green we fell into
 
Down, down, down the mountain
Not sure now, we got much more to lose
Where are you heading, what do you fear when
Nothing ‘tween us, the sky and moon
And I hold, hold my breath,
I’m waiting out, for the best parts of you
 
These coconuts won’t fill me up
I don’t know how
To make it back, the way we came
The water runs, snake she suns
Night it comes in close
I can feel, the shadows gain
 
Told me, we’d read the tides
A can of beans, a tarot creeps
I nodded I played the fool
You told me, well we’d be fine
I eased on back, took my pack
Oh I’m leaving, for the morning dew
 
And I hold, hold my breath
The mountain, she’s the love I never knew
And I hold, hold my breath
I’m leaving for the morn
