Earth, Moon

he walked out the door and he lit a cig
at the exact same moment she wondered if he was dead
when she left she left behind many gifts
and i know what it looks like but not where it is, where it is
will you cut your hair
so full of fear
too young to know the rhythms
unsure and unaware
change got a bad name in your book
it had only ever given you a few uneasy looks
from darkness and death born love
and the doorway i am sent to push you out of
and i know what it looks like but not what it does, what it does
we saw every bird from a mile away
but none were in her liking
yet the suspicion that each bird was her
lingered on for days
the earth doesn't own the moon
and the ocean doesn't own all the fish
and spring will turn toward you again
no matter what you're doing
i wondered aloud who was the most anxious person in the room
was it me or was it you
are we cut from the same cloth do we all feel the same thing
are we all flying through space on the tip of a month wing
and i know what it looks like but not how it tastes, how it tastes
like the child oak trees
in the middle of november
the cold winds blow
but their leaves they still won't let go
dance with me dance with me dance with me dance with me
dance with me dance with me dance with me

Lost and Found

lost and found
here and now
is there magic in the wind
and we crashed cars
and you forgot where you belonged to
sometimes eons stretch out from your eyes
and sometimes eons stretch out from your eyes
and sometimes eons stretch out from your eyes
and the stranger forgot that he did not know you
but he remembered that he'd been lied to
and we broke our legs
jumping into bed
a bone sticks out your head
but baby you're on the mend
the pharmacy's got more meds
the taxi driver said
we don't have much time
we don't have much time
winter's cold
summer's old
personal miracles
and hot hot hot hot
with gunshots they fought fought
corruption's wrought wrought wrought
pop pop pop pop and
ancient pharaoh
buried marrow
we haven't burned your house down yet
but i still remember bleeding when i was young
and the man that said there's a spider on my tongue and
my friends are shy
and teenagers die
and i couldn't cry for forty days and nights
forgiveness comes from the inside
the wive's children aren't fed
the father's eyes closed
and they said
we don't have much time
we don't have much time

Rusting Out
02:38

|
start the day with a sage smudge and
this city's bigger than i thought it was
and standing downtown with the wind whipping us around
and you smell like the thing but i forgot what it was
your stomach is a sunburn
and my eyes are shot
my car's rusting out the bottom
and your face is rusting off
over everybody's head
i refuse to decide what happens next
i'm embarrassed for the things i've said and
i'm embarrassed for the words i haven't read and
i'm embarrassed for being embarrassed
what we should do and the things we must and
watching autumn exhaust itself and
put me back like a book on the shelf and
i am a woman
i am a man and
i love your body
because you're human
how even a child yet to speak
knows what dancing means
can't you see i can see this work's killing you
and can't you see it's killing me
and take all my money
i'm not trying to be anybody
all i've got is the love inside of me
and all i've got is the love inside

Cherry Blossom Dream
06:20
|

|
in my dreams i see no faces
but i smell the full moon
my mother's perfume
when i woke up i thought she was in my room
after my grandmother's funeral
after we gave her away
she came in through my window
said it would all be okay
doubt piling
fevered dialing
the passerby said i still look sad
even when i'm smiling
the way you're running led me astray and
our friends leave their shadows in the doorway
i hear your heart when you shut it away and
why
my mind flies through seven billion cherry blossom dreams
my mind flies through eight billion cherry blossom dreams
and i scream
and i scream
would you believe me if i told you i was trying to keep you alive
would you be okay telling me that every night you were afraid to die
cosmic power
10,000 hours and
blankets rainchecks compost flowers and
palpable planets malleable talents
reduce reuse revival and
diagnoses
talk-show hostess and
fault-line tectonics rising water robotics
when will we break the cycle
lips unfurl and
fingers twirl
and i feel out of sync
with the whole fucking world
i'm sorry
i'm sorry
i'm sorry
i'm sorry
for all the times i only loved you
when i only loved you
when i only loved you
when you loved me too
