Rivers

spring is calling
them big old mountains are alive
show me now
how you cry it up
hear now I set aside
sirens and sins for you
let's get out right now
let’s break
now brother won’t you take me
down to the river to drown
down to the place
that I call home
anger brings his colors
red blankets both black and white
and in his truth
he brings comfort
and your so reconcile
time works against his cause
with some pushing and pulling
brother won’t you take me
down to the river to drown
back to the place
that was home
right on home river
you’re back home
you’re back on the safe road

Goodness Aches
03:57
|

I don’t have pictures
only Hearsay and Lore
about my days of shameless fright
for losing the moon at dawn
burned down all the meadows
just to see the stars
set up camp in dusty ashes
smoke smothered soul in the ground
goodness aches in time
and cowers in these bloodshot eyes
veins break with abandon
taking blood to this reckless mind of mine
dug a ditch in back
but our shovels were spoons
fell to the bottom of that wholesome fortress
where my goodness is safe in solitude
crawled out, dirt on nose
she wiped it off with her thumb
straight to the earth up sprung those meadows
surely, they would never burn
well goodness aches in time
and cowers in these bloodshot eyes
veins break with abandon
taking blood to this reckless mind of mine
to survive
the flood that washed away a child
misty mild
skin sweats the cold chilling sound
am I home?
there won’t be pictures
only Hearsay and Lore
for goodness aches in the meadow’s soil
and the seeds will sow the tale
goodness aches in time
and cowers in these bloodshot eyes
veins break with abandon
taking blood to this reckless mind of mine

Solace
05:59

bold
restitute in stone
cut from the highs
and placid lows
sting
back into my side
bouldering on
solace to find
sitting through the pause
silence drives engraven gauze
so brainless heads believe
the covering
so dry my soul
go on my son
let go
get me gone
back to the coast
seaside
spite
blackened to the bone
break to abide
chasing the crows
sitting through the pause
silence drives engraven gauze
so brainless heads believe
the covering
so dry my soul
go on my son
let go
get me gone
back to the coast
seaside

Strangers

would you mind if I
bend your ear for a while?
strangers seem to be
just what I need right now

they should be alright
they should be alright
for once in their younger lives
they should be the fire
fhe fire in bellies
full of lazy institutions
and glad is the night
and glad is the night
glad is the night
in death and darkness I'll rectify
sun-kissed pips in town
all sun-dressed and saying
they’re all ripe for the picking
we should be alright
we should be alright
for once on our own time
and glad is the night
and glad is the night
glad is the night
in death and darkness I'll rectify
715
home is where the hops is
and glad is the night
and glad is the night
glad is the night
in death and darkness I'll rectify

Wildlife Eyes
06:38
|
|||
warmed by your spare hymns
sing this season’s winking frost eyelids
I squint
through a woven bouquet
flowing down a flannel
head full of foxes wool
no cause for a cerebral pause
but to split a strand
with no reason but whim
so take those wildlife eyes
and scram
get up, stay up, hair twisted like
Christopher Reeves
only semi-old and spotty
well I am not the noblest guy
take heed from my faithless smile
tongue in cheek
I stoke my stogy
storm in smoke and hold me
with some might
so I noticed the cracks and grins
mistook poet stalling for a line
to write out of style
and into sight
can’t walk
I am a step behind
for that point
that point on the right
so take those
wildlife eyes
eighteen across
she looked left to her side
