lyrics

Willow I.

Our house
the garden
my body

burn it
I don’t want it
anymore.

I want your hair

in the sheets
in my clothes
in my food.

I want to lie

on the floor
on the grass
on my back,

wherever
you’ll find me—
forever, if need be.

I want to

be where you are
talk out loud
hear when you say,

You saw the squirrel again, today.

I want you to

stare in my eyes
yawn
and pant.

I want to be where you are.


Willow II.

This pressure,
this pain,
is my body

coming up against a wall
and not seeing it
as a wall,

but instead
as a field
in which I can grow,

in which I can throw
Willow her ball that
she’ll never run towards.

Still, I’ll throw it again
and I’ll pet her
and I’ll tell her

without you
I can’t make sense
of my life,

and she will tell me
it’s alright,
alright,

and it
will be
alright.

There is a life
outside my body
calling for me.

Today
I want to take it
seriously.

about

Tyler Daniel Bean Burlington, Vermont

Over a decade, Tyler Daniel Bean grew from a person and a guitar into a community of twenty or so friends from around the US. Ten releases and 350 odd shows later, they have primarily paused. But the core of the music remains: it is recognizing that functioning in the face of fear is striving to be human; it is finding a way to say "I want to live," even recognizing the relentlessness of it all. ... more
