this is sea country. bat country. blue country.
when it's a place about belonging: it's our country.
where you would ask too much and
i didn't know the word, but i knew the meaning
it's something about this country
and maybe it's that it's not a country at all
but a place to live and be
being together in the deep backwood
dark brown tree season in the backwood
of our country.
and i could live here with you for awhile
we'll only speak French and only watch the birds
and make it our own, like it already was.
welcome to sea country. bat country. blue country.
our country in dark brown tree season deep in the back wood.
