about

Kathy Hill, a promising biologist studying New Zealand cicadas, was full of energy and verve. An anonymous arsonist torched her home and since 2012 she remains under hospice care.

lyrics

Opening with darkness Katherine drew in the night,
The walls went up blazing, she gave us all she got.

*Whither this lifetime tending [Your pain describes me]
In the light we were burning [This rope between us].

Maybe she’s a dancer, maybe she’s cursing at the stars,
Whichever direction, crimson deepens in the dark.*

While we wade oceans, evening clouds deform,
Into Skyless Country, we don’t feel anymore.*

Impossible to theorize, or to make sense of it all,
Kathy lies quiet, her eyes soft in the light.*
