Moth-like there we go filigree and moth-like our arms fluttering and wilding through the air and all the while the bristle blows in the wind tasking at the shadows of the morn across the bridge we chase the recklessness of our path reflecting through ringlets in the water moth like heading straight and for the light in hopes that its brightness isn't flame and our skin becomes powder down through the sky through barbed wire clouds than pinch and preen our plume and from each other we fly It's all Like Today would you tell the lightning good-bye when you're happier in it than a firefly even as you kiss it goodnight you wish you had it's arms around you tight would you climb the evening so high as your focus turns from out to the inside then beneath the braided moonlight the ladder sways to the left it's all like today and i'm not one to watch it walk away would you tell the morning to sigh even as it's laughing teases your sight its solitary lines of light touch the end with your tongue and appetite Yellow Day yellow day the sunshine swept beneath the bed or bottled, and preserved kept instead for when the sky grows wicked to calm the air, play God, or just pretend red and the sea side it's all around me i leave the ocean from the pier for i am the raft that rides on your fear i'm following your boat on down blue-grey firmament my temples clear rubbed along the shore my skin passed over the quiet there- she is tempting to my hungry eyes and lips it kissed me there red and the sea side it's all around me i leave the ocean from the pier for i am the raft that rides on your fear i'm following your boat on down the finest sands are coloured pink and black from where i stand the hours climbing turning front to back in salt red and the sea side it's all around me i leave the ocean from the pier for i am the raft that rides on your fear i'm following you `til i drown Do You Know This Bird? slept under the sky of mother of pearl mother of sky close it all up to buy yourself a kiss off behind the moon tender up and all out and up and all in without a little doubt and up into the sky it's mother of pearl mother of pearl mother of sky then the sky, over dry and brittle grass eye where birds soil and grow thrashed and thrushed, hued and hushed caught beneath your little net in mother of sky the pearls like my eyes the way that we are when we are so far and up in the air where we can only stare through the dry and brittle grass between my toes where the birds grow where they sing and thrashed and thrushed (hued and hushed) Escapades In Glass snow shoeing and driftwatching sparkling to be caught we're alive slipping in sonnets of light bursts of pure white dark washes listening above us in the sun here winds still blow I'm higher than high swing out and swing away in escapades in... wind children blow secrets within praying to the old ungracious cold glass blown and trickling your icicles weeping low lying within the ground our snow-angels turn to stone here winds still blow I'm higher than high swing out and swing away in escapades in mirrors can tell stories of hell chasing lines that make up my face I'll swing out and swing away escapades in I know I feel I know I feel I'm wasting time so cold and I'm shaking swing out and swing away in escapades in... Sha Sha into your holiday i tripped up into your world fell from a melody i was humming in my mind into your memory find myself accustomed to the very thought of your delicacy holding softly in the air i had a devil dream walking slowly up the stair he put your face in my hand i held to it, still i care Making Salt With Sunshine now it's quiet i can hear the silence in my ears it's the way that you look when you're telling me a story saying things you want me to know hiding behind your eyes i look at you and realize i'd rather be alone than deal with any of this your moods are like the weather, always changing your eyes are like the starshine i wish they'd sometimes dissipate but it's only better if i lie and it's only better ...if i had, somehow, some kind of answer still
