Bitumen Too
water gets through
all the salty stuff too
a little anxious when it rains
not a lot left of the stone
the early ones laid
critters get through
bitumen too
won't find your port inside this home
build your thru way anyway
even as it all erodes
no matter what your glue
you'll find a residue
no matter what you do
they'll find their way through
big money gets through
absurdity too
not just a finger tip trace anymore
sweeping spins into piles
they're taking up the floor
no matter what your glue
you'll find a residue
no matter what you do
they'll find their way through
are the headlines true?
stood up by a few
did beads and placards really hold
unceded stone?

Some and One
some of you say it's time to be pilgrims
one of you says,“that's lofty” but will go along
anyway
some of you want to be there for the gathering
one of you wonders if this all might be a collective
runaway
most of you raise a toast in the guesthouse
only one of you sees the ghosts also
want a taste
will the long walk unblock?
the unsaid be shed?
gonna walk along
anyway
some of you feel the ooh, the ah, the at last
joining hands in a circle at the foot of
St. James
500 miles makes behind a little lighter
one of you can't say the same but walked along
anyway

Saturday Morning, Sunday Eve
waiting for Saturday morning
to stroll down the street on a Sunday eve
bring your little folk song through the front gate
and a few guitars, some worn out song sheets
we want to hear your dishes clatter
a din to maintain a walkability
bring the neighbourhood and all the chatter
your window at the café, the sun pouring in from the east
come on in Saturday morning
visit us Sunday eve
might take a little while, to let you in
a cruel rerouting to the Monday motorway
gently kick in the door, play that tune that came to you
your Saturday Suite on a windy Sunday eve
come on in Saturday morning
visit us Sunday eve
gently kick in the door, play that tune that came to you
your Saturday suite on a windy Sunday eve
come on in Saturday morning
come on in Saturday morning
visit us Sunday eve

Plato Let Go
three folded fingers
pressed hard against your chin
one more pointed firmly up
to the helmet inside your head
5000 young fists
pumping like they mean it
so sure what to make of
a complicated free man
Plato let go
Puritan begin
Plato let go
Puritan let a little more in
scheming an undetected exit
from your perch, the periphery
not so sure what to make of
a complicated free man
Plato let go
Puritan begin
Plato let go
Puritan let a little more in
alone, early uptown train
your head won't rest against the rattling glass
Plato let go
Puritan begin
Plato let a little more go

Your Berlin (Pre-November 1989)
let's go back to your Berlin
pre-November 1989
to your upper room of wonder
in a more defiant time
even when guards did their rounds
searchlights never found
your quiet revolution
wordless wisdom, prairie mind
watchtowers and barbwire in the landfill
death strip dogs make gentle pets
you took on your own dismantling
with free speech tours in great halls
not a thought now goes unsaid
preying ones have the key to your head
what happened to
your quiet revolution
paintings from prison, prairie mind
even when guards did their rounds
searchlights never found
your quiet revolution
wordless wisdom, prairie mind

Low Country Hill Hamilton, Ontario
Low Country Hill is Hamilton-based singer-songwriter Paul Hogeterp.
Low Country Hill
"evoke(s) comparisons to such stalwarts as Hey Rosetta and Bon Iver, but yet really does not sound particularly like either. The tracks stand on their own as testaments to superlative songwriting and an album produced to showcase haunting, beautiful music." (Floor Shime Zipper Boots)
