    I wrote these songs years before I was ready to hold the possibility that I might be trans and might need to do something about it. I see this album now as an artifact of the things I needed my body to sing to itself before it could welcome the reality that I now live in. The ‘zine includes photos and brief annotations hinting at what was to come

about

* See The Star, The Knight of Cups, and the water that runs between them, as illustrated by Pamela Colman Smith

lyrics

A maid bends to water
Poured out by a star
Tamer of lions
Aster in the palm, she opens

As before, I kneel down at the border
For the same old war
Over and over

Rain, bring me water
I can’t see or speak or hold
What comes to me
But still I drink

A knight bends to water
Poured out by a star
Light in the river
Runs into his mouth, his body

As before, I ride down to the border
For the same old war
Over and over
