about

Manzanita is a plant. It is beautiful, tangled deep red and tiny leaves of green. Written in summer 2010. Sophophilia is an inversion of philosophy, from brother Derek Woods.

lyrics

Manzanita

manzanita, this island slips my mind
with how they move me
in circles, or in spirals, twisting lines
as osprey dive down.

but these are my brothers,
as arbutus tangling horns and leaves
a family of thieves.

not thieves, though, only hoarders building
streams of sophophilia.
and I speak still; I make symbols of things I've stolen
from their tongues.

we came from the river, from the river,
mixed with wine and blood;
we are their sons,
thieved from the mother
as the mothers of our children
have been set free.
