Glass Bubble

The old pet store that collapsed
is filling right now with rainwater
it's torn wide open where the wind can have its hat
swirling in the dust of our anger
the glass bubble
that was my right eye is split
and gushing tears
foamy as the seawater
and I'm torn wide open where the wind can have my hat
swirling in the dust of our anger
i don't have the heart to speak anymore
i put my note in a bottle
weary old gods can't predict anymore
mutter oh, oh what a bother
i ask
what ails you?
honey, what did you pack?
under the stars we'll burn our last tank
hauling hard to get farther

Blow Out the Candles
02:38

Come inside
close the door
Dim the lights
blow out the candles
Its your fault
wring your hands
throw the salt
over your shoulder
What if we never learn from our mistakes?
Will we get what we deserve?
oh how! my heart aches
Should the story end?
It seems so wrong
to all who came before
who held us aloft
who kept the flame alive
Turn the page
mark your place
close the book
blow out the candles
Write your name
carve your face
in the wood over the mantle
Maybe for someone to find
Someone left behind
Not even loneliness
No essence survives
Should we send our blood
off into space?
Would some of our love
find a resting place?
and is it our fault?

Rose Burrow

Recite--oh the rose! that's inside
we'll write candlelight poems in the burrow of lucky, lovely
flurry, a squall, muffled skylight
a new day is dawning and aliens coming
the ocean is longing, the birds fly away
we'll keep on haunting--a whisper of wanting
two wraiths holding hands in the rain
we invite all the spirits home with lamplight
Keep close for courage all night in the silent suspended time
Dreaming up flowers under our sheets
Line up your past selves
Give gifts to em all
Hang em in roses
Kiss em quick before the fall
Call on your past selves
Give gifts to em all
Hang em in roses
Kiss em quick before they're gone
Light up the lanterns and ready the floats
We are all singing in a parade

Lady cardinal spits diamond
in the morning we're a kind of free
mark your springtime calendar
the air smells like lavender
we'll take our home to go
lady cardinal spits diamonds
wave to the miners as they all head home
yeah their work is all done
i hope they'll have some fun
we'll take our home to go
in the end all we really wanted was some cuddling
our favorite song rocking on the wind
spreading cash like ashes to the hills
chubby robin sits across the way
open our window, man he looks cross today
says the world is all full up
i'll take to the sky for a breath that's fresh
yes i'll take my home to go
in the end, all nested
dry twigs and cotton
he thought, "i'll live like i'm forgotten"
then i'll shed my feathers in the sea
whee!!

Is that animal sick?
Is that animal dead?
Or is it all in my head?
Good
Is the garden of Eden
just an isle of curs?
Or is it all in my head?
Good
Good
Cus I don't wanna feel
well if it's so
It's too much to be born into
Into the tower
seeing all too much
Is that animal sick?
Is that animal dead?
Or is it all in my head?
Good
Is the garden of Eden
just an isle of curs?
Or is it all in my head?
Good
Good
Cus I don't wanna feel
well if it's so
It's too much to be born into
Into the tower
seeing all too much
Is it here in this second?
Is it riding the plane
Or is it right on the head?
Are we writing a letter?
Are we singing a hymn?
Is it in all of our heads?
Good
Good
Is it here in this moment?
Is it flying the plane?
And is it right on the head
Good
Good
Are we writing a letter?
Are we singing a hymn?
Is it in all of our heads?
Good
Good
Good
Is it what we all needed?
Is it what we all heard?
Is it in all of our heads?
Good
Good

The wind is wild and choppy
I'm pissed and I ain't talking
I lock myself up in my room
Come through
\Yeah
I need something cool,
a little moisturizing
A funny little rule,
a tool
You can get inside my boat we can row, row, row
Anywhere you wanna go we can float, float, float
Everything you ever wanted, it is all inside
It resides in our craft

Minimal Dream

To see the Juliet
To scale the balustrade
To smell the violet
To stroke the palm frond, along
Pleasure draws a line all the way to California
Coiled track star springs up into a wall
To play the viola
To sing at Juilliard
A plot to come across
A prayer for ID
Without a production
There are no characters
The river runs at night
The body of the earth
The garden of waking up

Passageway

Hard wicker body
wrapped up in twine
hung in the barnyard to dry
where it's dry
sickled and sorted
chopped it up fine
chucked it in bundles
on the fire
the coals never were much for talking
you notice the air when it's popping
this passage without light
how can it go on?
you wanna live that life
you gotta let it all go
don't let anyone find out
they'll come knocking and make it theirs
but if you ever cried out
you know I'd come fierce
hard wicker body
dried over the fire
i'm like a tinder box
and my life is ready to light
i know, never was sure
i can't see why i go on
we make short work of the night
we're gonna let it all out
i wanna live that life
i wanna let it all go
and if anyone found out
they'd come knocking and make it theirs
but if you ever cried out
you know I'd come fierce
