[sighs]
inauspicious daylight
your infant son a viper's prey
i do my duty
on your return i greet you
with dewy reds and fatal jaws
myopic impulse
you take up your sword
put me down
put me down
in vengeance kill your faithful hound
lay me down
lay me down
regret enshrines me underground
they venerate me
make invocations falsely
and offer salt
all that separates their children
from wildland sickness and the fauns
is a candle's fire
the breadth of a thumb
put me down
put me down
in vengeance kill your faithful hound
lay me down
lay me down
regret enshrines me underground
put me down
put me down
my brittle body is rent and drowned...

dull sailing down the road
my august cold as the embers
sunken into acceptance
of sympathies unwound
trucks trampling hissing spirits
weaving between the raintrails
i watch the spray twirl up
and billow into the grey
the middlemonth candles wept wax that stripped me bare
and every shiver waves needlepoints across my insufficient body
but it's fine...
the weight has been lifted off, but not the pain
no curious dog eyes
all lost sighs burned up
we've walked through the valley
and there is no health in us

Granite (Live I)
04:11
|

|
in our embrace i don't match you
i'm stooped too broad too cubist
i fall apart i turn away
how do i not frighten you?
the moment has passed
and every inch of me is granite
it'll be like this for the rest of my life
they look at me and say...
shave away my neck
and shave away my shoulders
shave until there's strawberries and cream in the boiling summer rain
shave away my waist
then shave away my nose my jaw my legs
why don't you just shave it all...

my distant heart is a mountain top where fresh rain falls and flows into my arteries and veins and makes my cheeks turn crimson every night we are together
heather, you make love so real
i've been a stranger to my own feelings but god damn i feel them when you're cradling your cats or dancing with your eyes closed: two coronas of sequoia
heather, you make love so real
and one day honey you'll softly hold me in your arms and calm me as i'm drifting off to sleep on the precipice of dreaming of blossoming light that overwhelms my mind
you are a constant surprise when i remember how scared i was to love you
or to really even love at all
[laughs]
