[00:12.49]From the dusty May sun,
[00:15.82]her looming shadow grows
[00:20.54]Hidden in the branches of the poison creosote
[00:27.41]
[00:30.27]She twines her spines up slowly towards the boiling sun,
[00:38.26]And when I touched her skin,
[00:41.45]my fingers ran with blood.
[00:46.08]
[00:58.78]In the hushing dusk,
[01:01.73]under a swollen silver moon,
[01:06.71]I came walking with the wind to watch the cactus bloom.
[01:13.58]
[01:16.31]And strange hands halted me;
[01:20.39]the looming shadows danced.
[01:24.37]I fell down to the thorny brush and felt a trembling hand.
[01:32.61]
[01:48.59]When the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes unfold,
[01:56.61]Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones.
[02:04.35]
[02:06.46]And rise with me forever across the silent sand,
[02:13.99]And the stars will be your eyes and the wind will be my hands.
[02:22.58]
