A woodpecker whispers in your ear and everything changes
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack
He’s held in close defying gravity
Poised, upright, defying time with his audible fight
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack
Faster than you can count
He wakes you from sleep
He wakes your mothers
Your fathers
Your fathers father, your mothers mother
So deep into time that you are ancestral past cracks open and spills forth…
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack
A dance occurs, a romance unfurls
You bear witness to a courtship that happens lightly
A union that happens gladly
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack
She answers!
She listens
She measures every strike for its purity
It’s synchronicity, and she whispers in your ear
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack
Something breaks something shatters
You look at the world and wonder
What have we done?
From so far back we see a future and from so far back we see a need to drop everything just for one minute and witness
Just bear witness
The quiet, the stillness
She whispers in your ear
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack
It corrects itself
Through stillness it corrects itself
Tack tack tack
Tack tack tack
