Straight brush, curving round
Claude's subtle gestures
Light touch, hence no sound
Heart never opened
Hardly dented
Not a great state
To leave your pillow or your soul
When you ignore me
Then final warnings sound…

Recorded in 2018, but never originally posted publicly until now. This is a tune about living in Northern California during the wildfires and getting a call from friends that they needed a place to stay as their home was destroyed.

This is a track that is unapologetically scary and unsettling.
