Artist : Kayo Dot Song : A Pitcher Of Summer
One morning, before the leaves began changing
I caught a piece of summer and poured it into
a pitcher;
This I placed in the
cellar on a shelf collecting dust .
Autumn,
then winter, rose up from the sea, and my
Garden was a garden filled with unbroken
snow.
No flower strained its face to
the ice giants' whisper,
No life coloured
the vision of a newborn Spring babe.
My
cellar-water dripping into a pail
And I lifted my piece of summer
Like a
piece of memory or a dream
Like
these, caught on film
And carried it to the
garden floes,
The wind turning drifting
stars to madness.
Poured forth
gracefully, this ctheric tincture
Lifts
winter's coat-of-arms with coaxing aromas and
electricity.
Used with vigilance, a Pitcher
of Summer stirs a memory into swooning,
And
bravely, the flowers of the past will stretch
their limbs into the sky
While snow falls
quietly all around.
