H.I.Y.R.T.?

Still walking down this road
To the day where hatred dies
And suffering steps aside
You were a cloud
In a sky too blue
And much too wide to see you
I collected tears
For later use
I showed them all to you
Some rainbows wither in the light
Or get aborted by the night
Some rainbows won’t put up the fight
Just a flash of time
On a line too vast
All I can do is ask:
How is your rainbow today?

Now I'm A Dune

Sorrow police are here at your door
With a warrant 10 feet long
You thought what you thought
But the thoughts that you thought were all wrong
What if this feeling never comes?
What if this feeling never was?
What if this feeling cannot be?
What if this feeling isn’t me?
Sorrow mob is out on your lawn
With warnings and placards
But they drooled, now they’re bored
And they’re headed for your backyard
And I’m a dune - On the moon
Sorrow friends are here at your house
And they just want to say “hello”
Well you said it back, but you said it much too slow
What if this feeling never comes?
What if this feeling never was?
What if this feeling cannot be?
What if this feeling isn’t me?
But I’m a dune - on the moon

Too Many Gables

Too many gables, Gianni
Too many angled homes
You treated wood with pressure
Now it won’t decompose
Can’t get that tree to grow
Too many mazes, Molly
Too many ways to go
You had a friend in Polly
Now she’s been turned to stone
And all her kids are grown
Too many labels, Leroy
Too many laser shows
Get a look at your garden
Well you know the only thing it grows:
New ways to be alone
All alone
Too many fables, Fanny
Too many words to know
I had a trillion starlings
Covered by the winter snow
Fanny, where did they go?

Sky Archer
03:20
|

|
The sky archer comes
And makes the cold gray village warm
Shadow-made
And see-through
7 colors spring from his arms
Sleep, valley
Terrorized
By hope and dreams
Of better days
No
Sky archer comes
And makes the old gray village young
Sky archer sees
What he's done
And floats back to the sun
Never to return

Susan Busan

Susan Busan’s café life
Pins up a string of Christmas lights
Wakes up early every morning
Stays at home every night
Takes light rail to the beach
She sees the seashells by the sea
Polaroids stored on her iPhone
She makes her bed and makes some rice
Enrolls at university
District School Of New Design
Three semesters, then no more
She buys an espresso machine
Susan Busan lays to rest
Black hole webs grown in her chest
Life Of Wonder’s doors have closed
In its place: Bank Of Busan

Nobody Sees You Sleeping

Hey there, teddy bear
What’s that on your face?
There’s news from the world
Sure to slow your pace
Well I’ve been seen
And I’ve been found
On roads like this before
You’ve got nothing to win
On any open door
So open up that veil of clouds
And find a friend
There’s gold for fools
Where these colors end
No one see you sleep
No one hears you cry
Nobody takes a peek
Nobody asks you why
Nobody sees you sleep anymore
I was Charlie Brown
Not wanting to be seen
Kicked out young and alive
To a field so yellow green
Stuck on this ledge
Stuck on this peninsula
A life too dog-eared and beige
And overfed on time
But you know what they say
You know the word on the street
Says that your slashing grin
Is really nothing… nothing… nothing…
Too chic
Nobody sees you sleep
Nobody hears you cry
Nobody takes a peek
Nobody asks you why
Why?

Hey, Phantom
02:47
|

Hey phantom, I’ve seen you in town
A hundred evil eyes can’t keep you down
I’ve been hanging on words
Hanging around
Not making a sound
Hey phantom, watch me clear this wall
There’s no price laid on this autumn wind
Hey phantom, watch me jump this bridge
I’ll be hanging on words
Hanging around
Not making a sound

Solar Ladder

Solar ladder
Back to the sun
Where it comes
Solar ladder
Get back to the sun
I’ve been walking a hundred years
I’ve been walking through solar flares
Get back to the sun

Sorry, Mr. Crow
01:55

|
Sorry, Mr. Crow
Your altar has burned down
You said that thing
Was carved of oak
Three letters from Crowley
And three generations gone
Down from Baton Rouge
To where Algiers makes the river curve
And it leaks out into the Gulf of Mexico
In straight life
You beat the street
And you hound all the kids in town
But you know life is easy
Once you let it go
So sorry, Mr. Crow

Television Is Beautiful
02:50
|

|
Television’s beautiful
And nothing comes in clear
Here
Blurry on the shore
And I’m not sure
If you can hear me
Falling like a beach ball
Over this wave
Television’s beautiful
And nothing’s black and white
Under my sail

Halcyon Embassy
08:09
|

|
The Halcyon Embassy still glows
It takes the shape of everything that grows
From none you came
To none you go
Lead me to your house of stone
I had some dreams
They were sheep on a hill
The Halcyon Embassy won’t close
It issues passports to the young and old
Brought you to the riverbed
Liars say we’ll meet again
Now you cross that water on your own
Pain to beauty is true alchemy
The only land we find between the seas
Face to face and soul to soul
Leave me with your heart of gold
Evergreen, we never grow too old
