In Terms of Lunar Cycles (It's a Lonely Phase)

from Inside & Terrified by Bob Hillman

/

lyrics

I’m exhilarated by a super moon
On San Bruno Mountain in the afternoon
It’s a pagan relic from antiquity
And a number system that will always be
Lately, I have seen the sky infrequently, but I know
It will wait. We’ll celebrate. There’s always the afterglow
There’s always the afterglow

In terms of lunar cycles, it’s a lonely phase
Apathetic mornings, melancholy days
Are an invitation: see me re-invest
In the fundamentals, in self-interest
In details of coastal trails in pushing the altitude
Breathing in where air is thin to possibly be renewed
To possibly be renewed

I am interested in a future state
Where, with care and feeding, we re-integrate
With improved perception, at a different speed
Social intuition having atrophied
People who adopted new philosophies one by one
People who will only do whatever they’ve always done
Whatever they’ve always done

In the early morning, I become obsessed
Reading up on contact and connectedness
Sympathetic strangers are my spirit guides
And, in combination, atmospheric tides
I can speak but voices leak in particles, parts of speech
Through the wall, outside, and all the way out to Ocean Beach
All the way out to Ocean Beach
