The Spirit

the spirit glides
over the riverside
landing softly in its nest
feeding for breakfast
the spirit sleeps
under the valley
fire in the alley
takes its wings off for the night
glued back on for daylight
the spirit hears
cries in the alley
under the road
under attack from the shore
that wasn't there before
an oceanic love note and gone
turned the river on
and flushed away the nest
the spirit can't rest

Behind A Glass Eye
02:43

|

colored eyes in your drawer
colored bones on your floor
tired eyes on your face
tired rhymes in my place
scattered ash in your bed
purple plumage on your head
draped over your eye bluer than the sky
but the colored skeletons in your room don't lie
which colors do you hide?
I know this isn't the real you
what, did you think I'd never crack?
when were you planning to
show the world your view
behind a glass eye
sockets burning in your frame
synthetic human to take your name
one dimension, missing link
a gone perspective from how you think

Flatlined

your dress in my hands
the color's faded, standing jaded
against the window you built
our falling short was not on you
walk away, there's nothing you can do
just let it fall through
our risk has hit us back
our empty promise in a sack
beating it for fun
why can't we accept we're done
we can't ignore it's on both of us
too much silence to let us grow
as people and as lovers
what were we supposed to know?
they told us we weren't right
rushing into the rest of our life
and they were right
you left your spirit on the table
on your way out
should I burn it with the house
or just let it sit out?
did I know what you wanted before
should I know it now?
should I stop asking questions?
time to go...have fun at the show
maybe i could learn from this
a positive in the haystack
or maybe I'd be better off never looking back

Mermaid Left Behind
02:53

the rain brought you in and let you sleep
miles above the darkest deep
letting you breathe for the first time
above the surface on warm summer sand
and you got up with your long blue hair
and everyone began to stare
at this mermaid something from the sea
and suddenly you looked at me
that's when everything else turned blue
and the only thing i could see was you
and we started floating
that's when everything went black
when i couldn't really look back
and you made sure
i'd be going with you
sorry about last night
pulling the cables in a water fight
i'm sorry i tried to hurt you
is there time to make this right?
what happened to all the light?
please don't make me drown tonight

Snow Way Of Knowing

where do i wonder where i stand
walking across campus holding your hand
in dreams it all makes so much sense to me
but is that going to make me happy
the more i want the more i know
the more i know the less i want
the less i want the more i feel content
i stand in question, questions sent
am i natually devoid of this or is my thinking bent
the world's on fire and all i really want to know
is if i'm aromantic or just fucked up by the snow

I Hope You're Happy

sonic high
beating manually, my heart in exsanguination
on your highest mountain
making my way up, station to station to station
maybe it's a lost cause
am I serving a selfish purpose?
or are you selfish too
secluding yourself to make me nervous?
what could it take to feel you again?
is that even what I really want?
pushing your romantic distance on me
I'm giving up now
I hope you're happy, I really do
but the more I want it to work
I know it surely can't
what I think I want vs. what I know

Trish

off the curb and onto the street
she starts the night off slow
positively where she wants
and where she hopes to go
hills of love they offer her
rejected in her bed
roses of their admiration
dripping from their head
a walk around the stomping ground
airplanes overhead
thinking about the karma she'll receive
when they find her dead
the moon lights up her inner peace
as she sits outside her store
no different from the nights before
but she hopes there won't be more
time to close as the sun comes up
quick smoke and heads home
where everybody knows her name
but she tends to stay alone
a hole they dug for her to lie in
too deep to crawl out
the cost of knowing everything
but never really knowing how to get out

Meetinghouse Square
03:57
|
|

|
in the day spa, holding out
for a better life to meet me when I step out
back into the strip, windy day
blinking long enough to see the walls change
the path is cold but not too old
I think I'm fine
the leaves replaced by bitter snow
at most it's 39
the wind's a blade that cuts my clothes
but I don't bleed
as I slide across the ice I wonder
one more day one more night
one morning to get it right
in a nail salon, zoning out
not sure what brought me here, or what it was on about
I sit worried that they'll stare
or that they somehow care
