about

This lyric was inspired by a photograph taken by Jim Shirey, titled 'A Heaven of Leaves' - see accompanying image.

lyrics

comb the night
with an eye
you stole from me

scrape the light
from a river bed
that bleeds

starlight claws
a caress down a wounded tree
dressed in a flesh
so soft and shivering

i stand inside your world
and learn to see

it's a golden night
that has forsaken
me

about

“Clara Engel’s voice comes to me from that deepest of all places, imaginative space, from which she visually retrieves an ... more inner landscape converted by breath into the rock equivalent of poetry. Rarely has a voice sounded so authoritative, so unapologetic in its disclosures, so sure of its direction in going home into song,” - British poet Jeremy Reed
