about

Holly Mae Haddock, Mary Fraser, Michael Billmire, and Serge Van der Voo play at Crazy Wisdom Bookstore in Ann Arbor, MI, June 2009

lyrics

you boiled a cup of cream, put it in a saucepan, turned the flames up high
it boiled and formed a skin, you touched it with your finger, removed it like a slip
you served me tea and marmalade, pome and peel, pome and peel

a black bear in the woods, finds a rotting oak tree, sticks his face inside
his tongue is long and black, in the cloud of golden insects, who sting him 'til he swells
and then his tongue is salmon-fat, inside white pins
pins for teeth, his tongue is salmon fat

you left me like a sweat, you left no residue, no residue
you boil a pot of water, drop a pinch of seasalt, i am a rotten orchid, and i'm feeling sick again
you dressed me all in green, you served my meals, you served my meals, you dressed me all in green, you served my meals, you served my meals
