take my arms
away
take my legs
away
take all thoughts
away
and hold me
just this way
bleed you
from my veins
and hang me
just this way

merging patterns blur my thoughts
as I rest my legs against the wall
my eyes are yawning, dreaming sleep
I watch the ceiling take on shapes
where tiles join it looks like words
letters forming in the dark
while outside issues cloud my views
and every time I move
I'm falling off the earth
taking different shapes
every time I move

Derelict Fancy

|
I'm losing
daydream flowers
to darker hours
that steal
all of their power
still they're always all mine
daylight
seems like water
turned on to start
daydream showers
until nighttime
makes their sweet taste
seem so sour

My Manacles

holding so tightly
to someone else's hands
sifting so slowly
through someone else's sand
shifting and slipping
hoping to understand
soaking, I'm learning
to take my own commands
let go of my hands
twisting and pulling
on someone else's hands
crashing and spilling
on someone else's sand
spinning and landing
hoping to understand
listening intently
to my own demands

Cat's Paw

when I was a boy
I would die
pretend
I was above the sky
looking down and catching
the eyes of the faces
I recognized
but now I concede
that I can't be seen
out in the breeze
now I know
I never will be
anywhere
but under the green
feeding the flowers
for the bees
swaying softly
between the trees

Empire

standing in the courtyard
petals at my feet
I feel the sun on my neck
as it stretches through the trees
structures stabilize
while segments sway
a moment sterilized
before decay
laughter in the courtyard
darkens like disease
columns crack and crumble
as they spill into the streets
segments stabilize
while structures sway
a moment sterilized
beyond decay

Fuelcloud

from my window
I watch the airplanes
fly over houses
row after row after row
until they vanish
in their fuelclouds
above freeways
glazing skylines
in the bright morning light
from my window
I watch the train tracks
bend in the distance
mile after mile after mile
I stained my windows
to match the colors of what I see
so anyone can see a world that's stained like me
and that's disappearing and reappearing
in the bright morning light

Coil-Re-Coil
04:57
|

|
I place myself among my shells
the silence soothes me
in that space I try to make out shapes
just to taste the thoughts that are resting
back there behind my eyes
the days all fold into one
as the delicate sceneries stretch out before me
with images magnified and bright
behind my eyes
threads extend and suspend fresh webs of color
joining near with not so near
so I can call across the distance
behind my eyes
there's a dull shuffling outside
I break my watch and burn the clocks to stay
but the dark and damp corridors of my mind
are waiting to spiral down
and around in waves
of gathering beggar's ticks growing into me
to blind my eyes
I place myself among my shells
the silence swamps me
in that space I try to find a trace
of the taste that drew me in here
so I can inch through this haze
behind my eyes

he twirled around like a merry-go-round
he tripped the light fantastic
he got caught in a fan

Wooden Floors
04:14
|

|
every day I sweep the dust
that gathers from the night before
every day I see if I can ever see
those wooden floors
under the dust I see something
and below that something else
tired mornings finally end
the world slows as the sun descends
could we try to make amends
before night into day bends
under the dust I see something
and below that something else
layer under layer
