An archer amidst the mirth of birds
His arrow flies through arches of slanted light
Sometimes Time distills
Sometimes it flows by
A dancer bare on a shoal
Her arms raised as if she could exalt the sky
Sometimes Time distills
Sometimes it flows by
You and I are made for this earth
Not for these times
We find comfort in the berth of our pasts
We choose to wonder the lark of furtive futures
I am rudderless and adrift tonight
My pen, in sinews of ink, dries in the maelstrom
Strain your eyes
To span time

I've never loved an album the way I love "Roll the Bones."
I've been a rabid fan of Shakey's for 6.5 years, and I can honestly say I love everything he has ever put out...but nothing hits quite like this record. This album, in my opinion, is defined by warmth, familiarity, and raw emotion that it elicits. Lindsay Davison
The latest LP from Brigid Mae Power is gorgeous and ghostly, setting Power’s voice against soft brushes of guitar, piano, & shuffling drums. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 17, 2018
