jordon and sophie salveson live at the limelight in nashville.
for edwin warner, to clumsily and reminiscently express my love.

lyrics:
with your hands of leaf,
bones of branches underneath,
through bark, you bore a daughter,
and you were still when you brought her.

She hiked through you,
with wide eyes of blue,
through worn and rocky trails,
searching, as her body frails.

through bridges between, his eyes of green
we were eighteen, and in a lucid dream.
we've been told, he is as wise as he is old
with an inviting hand that's easy to hold.

with the height of the Tennessee hills
and a voice that resurrects and kills,
he stands taller than any sky scraper
with his arms amidst the clouds' vapor.

she climbed you by branches and bark.
my bird, nested in his limbs, sang the song of the lark.
i call up to her and beg and bleed
that she climb down and return to me.
