Side A

not in an anthropological mood

first notebook of songs

Side B
forgive me my

seal

el kebda, let it go

we made it to the underpass

Side C

our mother is our daughter is our mother

(sister said) home is a direction

we're still at the underpass

Side D

call it luck if you want to

call her by her name, enheduanna 

growing sense of wonder

I walk again, eyes towards the Sky
