Maybe 07

I saw jesus in all his bloody glory in your eyes
shining and shining, etc
in between all the truths of your lies
there is something
something sonorous
I like that word.
and the time when you said you were going to puke
so I pulled over
and you picked me a flower.
romance is the art of surprise

fat donut eating cops
they loiter in my mind
suckin up the welfare
on my city's dime
they're detailing construction sites
all around my heart
i guess it wasn't ever if
but rather when they'd start

hayduke's dream

Was dreamin.
Half the night about tryin
to hook up a trailer, in your company.
I think we were
out in some east coast woods.
I couldn't quite get the truck and trailer to line up
and you wouldn't help
because you were wearing
some beautiful heirloom dress.
So i hollered 'So
why dont you take the darned thing off'
and that was the wrong thing to holler
because I've never seen
someone so furious in a dream.

regular

i went back to where we were
there was no trace of us
i wanted so to cry
but couldn't muster up the fuss
sometimes i wonder why
you never thought to call
sometimes of you and i
i wonder not at all

i can feel

I

Can’t

Feel

I can’t feel

I let the blue sky dance on me

In the grass so lazily

I

Can’t

Feel

I can’t feel

Water down my tensing spine

Underneath a leaning pine

I

Can’t

Feel

I can’t feel

The river running next to me

A fog so thick I barely see

I

Can’t

Feel

I can’t feel

Spider’s webs with spots of dew

They are all I ever knew

I

Can’t

Feel

I can’t feel

Swelling clouds hang fat above

Flowers sway and sing of love

I

Can’t

Feel

I can’t feel

Snapping twigs chip underfoot

All it took was just one look

I

Can’t

Feel

I can’t feel
