Noni's Field
                 EmWhen (022000@1)I closed my eyes in Noni's field
                     GWe (320003@1)were lying on our backs.
                  EmI (022000@1)dreamt that the ground split a seam,
               GOur (320003@1)spirits, floating.
               Cmaj7When (x32000@1)no longer tied into our bodies,
                      GWe (320003@1)left them wrapping as a sign,
                 
to slip into the crack.
   Cmaj7 (x32000@1)              GTired (320003@1)and ready to go.

GBut (320003@1)I don't know what goes on.
             D7I (xx0212@1)touched my grandfather s face, he lay fixed in his casket.
He lay sewn shut and folded so that none could refuse it.

EmThey (022000@1)had posed, they had painted him.
I laughed. I let him go.
                                  A7 (x02020@1)      Cmaj7His (x32000@1)cheeks washed like watercolor sunlight, evening time.
                           GI (320003@1)could never put my hands back to them.

GStill, (320003@1)I don t know what goes on.
                 D7Will (xx0212@1)my thoughts burn in unseen patterns, form a dim glow in your mind
Long after you remember who it was that I looked like?

Em (022000@1)                                                 GWe (320003@1)saw the sky, swarming full with the light that the fireflies made.
   Em (022000@1)       Bm/D       Cmaj7 (x32000@1)An accidental constellation.
A7 (x02020@1) Cmaj7 (x32000@1)      GYou, (320003@1)how will you go?
Em (022000@1)                 A7Out (x02020@1)through your mouth in a sigh?
Cmaj7 (x32000@1)          GInto (320003@1)a space we don't know.
