A SONG 2:45 min — playing every 15 min songwriting: Josefina Gilardi lyrics : Josefina Gilardi & Isidora Gilardi Grammar of Birds (don’t slide away) Words are birds No man is so guileless as the serpent Yet are thought to be an omen for disgrace — From dread they were put to death Need to protect fix the slits would never break the ripple Winding bodies in a lair Melampous cherished those little snakes [chorus] hellebore hellebore hellebore hellebore A somnolent afternoon sunlight drenching the eyelids a gleam gliding in the grass a hiss in the ear wetting the ear’s spiral No lie in a forked tongue that cleanses the ear reveals the grammar of birds & creatures a gift of tongues Words are birds [chorus] hellebore hellebore hellebore hellebore
