After JM Before SB
03:02

afraid that pillar of boulders will follow you
right down to the lake
that body deemed to swallow you
after waiting all day
for you to call
ooohooo ooo ooo
ooo hooo ooo ooo
let's write a song we've all heard before
this ain't the time for novelty
something that won't dry out in this desert heat
it smells mud and tastes like clay
and call it home
ooohooo ooo ooo
ooo hooo ooo ooo
oo

Pyramid Quilt
03:15
|
|||
|
black cross on a red-green sky but otherwise
fine way to look at the moon through those pyramid eyes
catalog of lightning strikes struck twenty years ago
soil scald for thirty miles 'neath seven feet of snow
and i wanted to ask
'why are we stopping in this storm?'
strange wave that unlocks the tide but otherwise
fine place to fuel the pyre that someone left alight
fullest dread of life for fifteen weeks or more
that southern pull that queerest while that time to leave the shore
and i wanted to ask
'why are we stopping in this storm?'

Promised to Write
02:48
|
|||
|
i had promised to write
a record of lullabies
when your child was born
i hope you won't keep me
to my word
i've given up on the form
i've given up on the form
i had promised to write
a view from the oceanside
all to echo the west
go lost
in mountaintop
and filled in the night with the rest
fill in the night with the rest
i don't think no one should sleep
pick up a fight with me
i don't think no one should sleep
not you
and not your baby

Spring Light
06:06
|
|||
|
the placement of your teeth
and the temperature in your tea
and all those things on the ground
that i am sure are important
so long as never found
a paralytic worry when walking through the park
to slip and fall and find what's after dark
but it isn't weird and it isn't funny
to get so common
after all of last year's worry

Sick Again
04:33
|
|||
|
undone by ones and zeros
a sonnet of life
so he says
ones and zeros
a reminder of
how dangerous is kindness
and on this bus
going back
where the river has yet
to catch fire
and if i get sick again
will you call the nurse
a reminder of
how dangerous is kindness
here when you're done
right here when you're done
sour and blameless
a sonnet of life
so he says
ones and zeroes
undone
going back
ones and zeros
a reminder of
how dangerous is kindness

The Basement Smells
02:40
|
|||
|
running headlong into the wall
i looked around once
as if the walk were already over
now when we go let's leave
almost nothing behind
except our shape in the sheets
in case the dog gets cold
i know how
to make the silence sound
like the search for the perfect word
and now
in this quiet
you've lost your nerve
and i cataloged all the letters
left out of your name
and with 'em she wrote a sonnet
and it sounds
like a mountain of bees and
i would expect an explanation
but when pressed
all i stutter are
the basement smells
and the river swells and
i know how
to make the silence sound
like the search for the perfect word
and now
in this quiet
you've lost your nerve

Shredding

in the tall grass only
in the tall grass only
in the tall grass only
the braying mare that rode me
read a mile of august answers and then some
in the tall grass only
in the tall grass only
in the tall grass only
where there before we go thee
write a mile of august answers and then some
in the tall grass only
in the tall grass only
in the tall grass only
in ailing health so lowly
drive a mile of august answers and then some
in the tall grass only
in the tall grass only
in the tall grass only
with aching back give wholly
write a mile of august answers and then some
in the tall grass only
in the tall grass only
in the tall grass only
the braying mare that rode me
read a mile of august answers and then some

No Apocalypse
05:12
|
|||
|
i would've quit this sooner
if i knew that this is how it ends
the movement gets harder
knowing what's 'round the bend
but i've done this twice before
so i know, i know
i know what's in store
it's the sound of the lock down the hall
it's the vision of
your face against the shower stall
i would've quit this sooner
if i know this is how it ends
no apocalypse
no apocalypse
no apocalypse
a slow drift
a slow drift
a slow drift
a slow drift
this is fucking bullshit
i thought i would see the apocalypse
see the apocalypse
see the apocalypse
