we're washed out to sea by those ineptyl governing
eating our hearts as they're checking charts
i'm tugging on dress seam; harvesting love that brings love
where's your heart?
where'd you leave it?
you took it all, now it's gone forever
in tiny ships built by our hands
we hoist up little flags, waving, as they're incapable
we've intentionally left our anchors behind
for those who still need it
it's never for us

are you aware my locks grow stronger
so it'll be easier to catch you where you are when
i know i'm near to chemicals & radiation
that would kill lesser men
and oh, bless this empire i'm not a part of
and lord, bless the man i'll never be
i'm not charming; i'm alarming; the welts i uninstall
my fingers are battered from pretending i'm catching your fall
i'm the one who's clueless as to how this machine works
but the truth is, my inclination is to register worth

we have all frustrations; thatched the mutations
we say that "things are daily," but they're all grey (grave) or black
and if you want trouble, you've come to the right one
and if you want sorrow, you'll never leave me again
we have all mutations; we judge the creations
but don't cover your eyes with my two hands
for all that waits, despite our gaze
under far tomes that've pandered

The Tameable Membrane

the wind speaks, and her voice sings along:
"these are the colors of my dreams"
if the shore brings, then i'm landlocked
this is the fabric of my thoughts
life is constant, lines, i cut them
with long perusals; permissions approving
love is hard-worn; laughter, nonchalant
comforting during time-wars; the rules where we see life
so that rust can imitate romance
so that rust can imitate rain
so that rust can imitate wind
so that rust can imitate steel
oh, but she is the thread

can any amount of dampness explain
this subtle lack of rain
this sudden laughter of years that sing
that shiny copper circle lying on bedsides, brought to rapture
or years (hills) that refuse to mature
ding-a-ling-darling; little me
who is that you need? borrowed trouble?
harping on anything not made of stone
hoping that lisp is of flesh tone
or the ring you make when you touch your fingers together
half way,
habre,
la izquierda,
treekeno,
ferrow,
du,
spark it up right

start it with the feedback & start it off right
stop it with my feet back and start it off low
kick it off right
we were dreams and textures, dreaming of our lives
we are drinking textures, dreaming of our highs
we know, rushed and slow
washed and stowed
where we'll spell
that we are alone

life seems easier when everything is drenched in rivers
be a man & be split
i can feel it now
everything i do is star-studded and grey
covered photos sifted through with a poor idea (quality of) of grace

Breakfast Apocalypse
04:15

we were warned of sudden re-entry
frames & film - we quit ourselves free
the fuel that puddles & the rings light portrays
we thought touching knees were tender
but I see soil and steel alight to flame
the rungs of this ladder
are so splintered & so rough
but the view is so clear
& our errors are quite enough
i never got to tell you just what your hair looked like
the sense of panic and peace in your eyes
hemispheres with which we're (un)familiar
life in the city rewards us with failure

Secret Story Monsters

your wooden box, things you kept
secrets with socks beneath your bed
your father really loved you, but your mother, she left
friends in invisible places; you shared stories while they wept
there's a cabin for you
and there's a forest with a view
there's an undulating river for building static boats
and there's pretty white snow for donning black petticoats
there will come a time when you'll meet someone
he'll teach you how to tie your shoes
and he'll have real physical form
he'll teach you how to drive and how to dress
he'll take you from your father and how to be your best
he'll help you learn to share your secrets with this incredible world
even if they don't deserve it or even if you're torn

Song from a Sailor

you'll burn for me
my struggle is underground
i know you'll miss the sound
sea & wind; u.v. on pale skin
but i only see the waves
i'll drown for you
"if there's no one waiting for you on shore, you're simply drifting out to sea"
|

you are trouble & united
you are trembling & you're frightening
& the one who's not to remember
do you write or do we ride by the moon set by candlelight
in the river in the middle of the night
those planes won't make out the clean wet wash on paper
we all know, for us, it's the strangest of common favors
for if we run, they were not there before
but before the night, I swear we'll light
the way to grace & the way paved
for the lovable things you've done for us
and those you never could love, like us
that bottle was busted
that bottle was bitter
from lips that aren't yours
that bottle was bitter
that bottle was busted
from lips that weren't yours
