A recorded reading of “Ladle the Weather”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
Moss spreads in weather that forgets its name. You don’t. You bruise. By crate-wood pears, you twitch, growl at the frozen peas humming like bad lighting. You need eyes on your spoon. Catch a chuckle before the punchline dies. Go where hands meet weight. Let soil take the gap. Kindness isn’t preached—we ladle it. The map is broth. The route is warm. I meet you at ten under the soft fruit— keys ring thin in your pocket, coat light as mist. We split the evening: one loop, one drink—we leave. Your laugh runs clear—rain off plastic awnings. You shake your sleeves like sparrows. Stand with me at the bus stop. Name the strays. Plastic tokens warm in our palms. Say one true line, not twelve. Let fog take the rest. Do not rot alone. I will bring you home. Skip the sermon; make broth; let a small truth carry the weight. Light pools at our shoes.
Instructional lyrics
[Intro 4b pad + vinyl crackle] [Tag 2b] you are not moss [Verse 1] moss just spreads, cold and damp you are not moss, you bruise you need eyes on your spoon someone to catch a bad joke alone, you twitch by pears you growl near frozen peas odd hobbies bloom like mold you rust like gates in rain [Pre rise + claps] go where hands meet weight let soil stand in the gap let song steer the room let soup keep the map [Chorus impact] do not rot alone I will bring you home [Verse 2] people need witnesses someone to see you chew someone to hear the flat line when the punchline falls through without that look across aisles you spar with cans and glass you talk to humming freezers you draft strange solo plans [Pre rise + bass swell] name what bodies seek eyes, breath, steady pace promise one small hour pick one clear, kind place [Chorus impact + 3rds] do not rot alone I will bring you home [Verse 3] keys ring thin in your pocket your coat hangs light as mist I meet you under soft fruit at ten, where lights persist I say split up the evening one loop, one drink, then leave you laugh like rinsed-off weather you shake the rain from sleeves [Pre rise + shaker] end-time guards the open windows make it kind step through like good neighbors leave the fog behind [Chorus impact call & response] do not rot alone I will bring you home [Bridge strip vox + pad] stand with me at the bus stop share chips, name stray dogs say one true line, not twelve let small truth warm the fog [Final Chorus x2 stacked] do not rot alone I will bring you home do not rot alone I will bring you home [Tag 2b reverb tail] save the horse, make the bog [Outro 4b fade] the door is heavy, opens
