The animals laugh from the dark of the wilderness. A baby cried hard in an apartment complex, as I pass a car buried under the influence. The city is driving me out of my mind. I have seen a child is caught in the sad trap of gravity. He falls from the lowest branch of […]
Laura, are you still living there on your estate of sorrow? You used to leave it occasionally. Now, you don’t even bother to ride that commuter train west to Chicago, to stroll through the greenery, in the park, past the statues. How their eyes seemed to follow you like a hated addiction. Their beauty carved […]
There is a man holding a megaphone, so he must have been the voice of God. The bystanders claimed they saw angels flying up and down the block. Well, they must have been attached to wires. I saw one laying in the lawn with a broken arm, so I called 911. So that is one […]
I have a friend, he is made mostly of pain. He wakes up, drives to work, and then straight back home again. He once cut one of my nightmares out of paper. I thought it was beautiful, I put it on a record cover. And I tried to tell him he had a sense of […]
Our love is dead but without limit, like the surface of the moon or the land between here and the mountains. It is not these hiding places that have keep us innocent but the way you taught me to just let it all go by. So we have learned to be as faithless, stand behind […]
Is it true what I heard about the Son of God? Did he come to save? Did he come at all? And if I dried his feet, with my dirty hair, would he make me clean again? They say they don’t know when but a day is gonna come, when there won’t be a moon […]
The rain, it started tapping on the window near my bed. There was a loophole in my dreaming, so I got out of it. And to my surprise my eyes were wide and already open. Just my nightstand and my dresser where those nightmares had just been. So I dressed myself and left then, out […]
I picked you out Of a crowd to talk to you Said I liked your shoes You said thanks can I follow you? So it’s up the stairs And out of view No prying eyes I poured some wine I asked your name you asked the time Well it’s two o’clock Yeah the club is […]
You say that I treat you like a bowl upon a shelf I don’t take you out that often ’cause I know know that I’ve completed you and that’s why you stay here How aweful that must feel You said would be my dream I could have you everynight If by morning I’d forgotten you […]
On a string I was held. The way that I move, can you tell? My actions are orchestrated from above. So I swing and I sway. Wave my hand. Kick my leg. And it is always right with the music. "Until all that swinging starts to make you sick" For a song I was bought. […]
