Sports In July - Avey Tare

Sports in July

Why do I?

Expose my

Olive tints

To dripping eyes

Soothe my breathing

Burned and beating

Jump so high

Skim the ball

Spin out right

In the grass

Knees feel fine

Restful meadow

Bird watch fellows

Hello night

Sweat has dried

In your surprise

Take me home

In dusk’s cool ride

Starry headlights

I’m slipping by

When the wind can’t wait

Does its dance and holds you in its

Four strong arms

When the wind can’t wait

Holds you with its chancy heart

And four strong arms

When the wind can’t wait

To cool you

It’s almost the morn
