CREATURE FEAR
By
Bon Iver
***************
I was full by your count
I was lost but your fool
Was a long visit wrong?
Say you are the only
So many foreign worlds
So relatively fucked
So ready for us
So ready for us
The creature fear
I was teased by your blouse
Spit out by your mouth
I was loud by your lowered
Seminary soul
Tear on tail on
Take all on the wind on
The soft bloody nose
Sign another floor
The so many territories
Ready to reform
Don’t let it form us
Don’t let it form us
The creature fear
So did he foil his own?
Is he ready to reform?
So many torahs
So many for us
The creature fear
CALGARY
***************
Don’t you cherish me to sleep
Never keep your eyelids clipped
Hold me for the pops and clicks
I was only for the father’s crib
Hair, old, long along
Your neck onto your shoulder blades
Always keep that message taped
Cross your breasts you won’t erase
I was only for your very space
Hip, under nothing
Propped up by your other one, face ‘way from the sun
Just have to keep a dialogue
Teach our bodies: haunt the cause
I was only trying to spell a loss
Joy, it’s all founded
Pincher with the skin inside
You pinned me with your black sphere eyes
You know that all the rope’s untied
I was only for to die beside
So it?s storming on the lake
Little waves our bodies break
There’s a fire going out,
But there’s really nothing to the south
Swollen orange and light let through
Your one piece swimmer stuck to you
Sold, I’m Ever
Open ears and open eyes
Wake up to your starboard bride
Who goes in and then stays inside
Oh the demons come, they can subside

“Someway, baby, it’s part of me, apart from me.”
You’re laying waste to Halloween
You fucked it friend, it’s on it’s head, it struck the street
You’re in Milwaukee, off your feet
… and at once I knew I was not magnificent
Strayed above the highway aisle
Jagged vacant, thick without us
I could see for miles, miles, miles
3rd and Lake it burnt away, the hallway
Was where we learned to celebrate
Automatic bought the years you’d talk for me
That night you played me ?Lip Parade?
Not the needle, nor the thread, the lost decree
Saying nothing, that’s enough for me
… and at once I knew I was not magnificent
Hulled far from the highway aisle
(Jagged, vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles
Christmas night, it clutched the light, the hallow bright
Above my brother, I entangled spines
We smoked the screen to make it what it was to be
Now to know it in my memory:
… and at once I knew I was not magnificent
High above the highway aisle
(Jagged vacance, thick with ice)
I could see for miles, miles, miles

Armour let it through, borne the arboretic truth you kept posing
Sat down in the suit, fixed on up it wasn’t you by finished closing
Ramble in the roots, had the marvel, moved the proof be kneeled fine’s glowing
Storing up the clues, it had it’s sullen blue bruised through by showing
Settle past a patience where wishes and your will are spilling pictures
Water’s running through in the valley where we grew to write this scripture:
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Not for a part in any gamut of the dark
Doubled in the toes annex it, it minute closed in the morning
Did not lose it in the stack’s stow, I’m a lay that call back on ya
You know it won’t beseech you, we’re laying in an open field
I will let you grow, no need to notice
So carry on my dear, what is clear up in the daylight is we’re hung here
Fall is coming soon, a new year for the moon and the Hmong here
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
All that it seems
Bellows tracing through the streams
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
Never gonna break
All at it’s seams
Swallows swelling for the beams
LUMP SUM
***************
Sold my cold knot, a heavy stone
Sold my red horse for a venture home
To vanish on the bow
Settling slow
Fit it all, fit it in the doldrums
Or so the story goes
Color the era
Film it as historical
My mile could not pump the plumb
In my arbor ’till my ardor trumped
Every inner inertia
Lump sum
All at once rushing from the sump-pump
Or so the story goes
Balance we won’t know
We will see when it gets warm
BETH / REST
***************
Errant heat to the star
And the rain let in
The hawser rolls, the vessel’s whole and Christ, it’s thin
Well I?d know that you’d offer
Would reveal it, though it’s soft and flat
Won’t repeat it, cull and coffer’s that
For the soffit, hang this homeward
Pry it open with your love
Sending lost and alone standing offers
It is steep / it is stone
Such recovery
From the daily press, the deepest nest, in keeper’s keep
All the news at the door
Such a revelry
Well, it’s hocked inside of everything you said to me
It was found what we orphaned
Didn’t mention it would serve us picked
Said your love is known
I’m standing up on it
Aren’t we married?!
I ain?t living in the dark no more
It’s not a promise, I?m just gonna call it
Heavy mitted love
Our love is a star
Sure some hazardry
For the light before and after most indefinitely
Danger has been stole away
This is axiom
