All the Things i’ve Lost

April 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I.
Natural science
Feed a magnolia prison food
Watch it grow big teeth

II.
The seeker
Calling the glue man to touch me
So i don’t fall to pieces

III.
Acknowledgment
of bats in the belfry
Pony up for vermicide

IV.
The road
Let’s take a trip together
to see the fire on the mountain
Passenger seat, touch me
The hem of your garment far behind
A new brand of skin
Lightness, the new waltz
Clap hands ’til the morning comes
Save the last verse for me

V.
Clean translations
of a fevered dream
Sing it again
while i’m still here

VI.
Use it
the race is on
For me, this is heaven
and you were there
Thank you.

VII.
Let the cards fall
sink to the beat
the sound of settling
Makes me wonder
two of us
stolen;
My shining hour.
