Ode to Crab Lake

from Odes by Earthbook

/

lyrics

We packed our bags to the breaking point of the fabric, zipper's stitch, and set afloat to find our new home. With the fat sack on my back, a canoe at the start of the path, we bent our bones over bounders and stones.

Crab Lake, a mysterious wilderness place. reserved for those who accept and last the pain. Crab Lake, a never-ending wilderness place. Six hours to and from the great Crab Lake.

When we made it to the beach I could pour water over my teeth and rejoice that rest was finally in reach, but when Crab Lake hit aluminum it was clear there's no land to call our own. We'd pummel her face for hours in search of some.

Crab Lake, a torturous wilderness place. reserved for those who accept and last the pain. Crab Lake, an unforgiving wilderness place. Six hours to and from the great Crab Lake.

We finally found relief from our packs and the blowing breeze when we set up camp as the moon became the star. The next morning we woke, cooked breakfast over campfire smoke and knew all we saw was ours.

Crab Lake, a wonderful wilderness place.
