lyrics

Stepping on stones
Seems a little cold for my liking
Dirt between toes
Helps my sore soles to tread lightly

Heat from the mantle
Winter stole straight from the air
Scarce hits my foot before
Dew steals it back — only fair

Only fair that the wind bites my skin
Only fair that the clouds wear me thin
Only fair that the dew traps the heat
So the dirt can make sure we will eat

Cabinets still full
Seasonings, cookware, and dry goods
Lace in the window
Vegetables stored up like firewood

Mushrooms from autumn
Peas, greens, and herbs from the springtime
Shocked through with cold air, or
Left in the sun — only fair

Only fair we freeze half of our stock
Only fair it cooks up slightly off
Only fair it tastes slightly of must
Earth wears thin in the dark just like us

March feels like 6 A.M.
April like 8 - pillow on my face

May like 9 if I’ve slept
June the first cup or three of hot coffee

Rest so July is a weekend
So that August can fill you with heat
So you’ll know that September brings mushrooms
The dirt will make sure we can eat

In March we pick peas and plant carrots for summer
If always the excess we freeze
The dirt will make sure we can eat

about

Queen Cabbage New York, New York

Originating in late 2017 at SUNY Purchase, Queen Cabbage is a folky art rock band dedicated to synthesizing silliness, seriousness, life, death, the beautiful, and the grotesque into earnest, powerful, emotionally immediate music for eager feet to dance and stumble to, for thoughtful hearts to beat and break to, and—most importantly—for authority figures to disapprove of.
