my hammock under tree
my unsolved mystery
my rocky alifie
my ornithology
we'll float like a chagall
across the silver sun
and when our flight is done
sleep in a sweet chorale
but we're cities apart now
we're kisses awaited
we're words illuminated

many years a brother
you're the first to say
"why do you laugh so high?"
new atlantic sailor
in august midwinter
were you at all prepared?
darkest fruit in your grasp
sourness on your tongue
and sword through your spine
(a sword goes through your spine)
you return shaking
with blood on your hands
and barbedwirebirdeyes
raw in morning light
but as the season breeze
brings dust from the east
pain is gone with time

pourquoi mes cauchemars, ont-ils encore lieu à saint croix?
pourquoi rassemblais-je des chèvres?
pourquoi y avait-il des grenouilles qui sautaient en racontant des souvenirs de leurs vies antérieures?
pourquoi mon père, conduisait-il à l'aéroport?
pourquoi ne courais-je pas bien?
je sais pas...

and at the sound of the seventh bell
i heard the most beautiful word
clearer than the slovenian lakes
and brighter than the silver sun

Hymnus

|

how can I laugh when all is said
with all but chosen church misled
and death reserved, no love to show
to us determined down below?

Part I
what can i do? what should i do?
don't look at me, friends
i know i look distressed
and i look at my chest
as i would look at the heavens
to cry to the predestined
and i can't love you
and i can't kill you
Part II
mais dès que j'ai atteint la cime de la colline de saint croix, j'ai levé mes yeux et regardé une étoile...
et j'ai vu que l'étoile était une petite chienne dans une capsule en métal...
elle se sentait très seule et elle ne rêvait pas...
elle ne savait pas ce qui se passait...
et moi non plus...
Part III
we try but cannot be discrete
‘cause all those boys and girls we meet
we sidestep, magnets north to north
we're just on different trains of thought
different strain of heads
and how does it feel when
half the world now wants you dead?

Granite

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...

midsummer evening on the beach
my mother swept ashore for heat
disrobed and shook her velvet skin
and found a father for her kin
the waves pulled her in again
my father drowns himself now and then
my sister's island gave her rest
i found her lying with a shag's nest in her chest
