I Can Invisible Myself

This song started life as one of Jo’s poems called ‘Invisible’. It's about an experience Jo had whilst sheltering under the trees on Wenlock Edge near her home in Shropshire during a snow blizzard. Jo swaps rolls with Rick to play the rhythm here on an old, smashed-up gato box which had an interesting sound, whilst Rick uses the Hungarian zither in a unique way, stopping the sustain with a clothed arm as accompaniment.

Lyrics

If I make myself very small Crouch down low hold my knees tightly Crush my chest flat and lean Soft at first, then press into the deep loam  Hug tree roots and badger scent  I can invisible myself

Disappear entirely into the earth Deer pass by me grazing so close I can feel their breath warm on my body I hide and wait as single flakes of snow fall I can invisible myself, I can invisible myself

They hover still in the air, poised in time  Each one a tiny universe of Perfect symmetry, waiting in silence Holding their space like diamonds Glistening before my eyes I can invisible myself, I can invisible myself I can invisible myself

I’m so still, I make sound  No mark, no shadow existing only in energy No body to hold me, one with everything It feels so good, I can invisible myself I can invisible myself, I can invisible myself I can invisible myself
