rest
shed your hallowed sorrows
velvet nested stars
share
this air i’ve cradled in me
a borrowed glimpse of far-off lands
come
be safe tonight my love / dream with countless eyes
while i hold your pocketwatch

whispers over glassen water
amber shroud of contours steaming
(the sun dips low)
where once you washed anew
(she tastes her reflection)
where once you slipped into it all
loom under a waxen sliver
(hallucinating you)
crane your neck to find
crane your neck to find
boon of sky soliloquized
(dimpled corner of your lip)
crane your neck to find
crane your neck
andromeda’s sarabande
silent flue subsumed
all i can see is your eyes
all i can see is you
quantize or quantify
all i can see is you

clinging to the warbled asphalt
the chicory in bloom
neither lost in rendezvous
nor memory festooned
the seasons heave in magnitude
and i am here with you
in wilkes-barre
dawn's delayed arrival
to listen in the silence
to the babble on a stone
our hemiola aquifer
laid within the chapel green
dialectic orchestra
douses for the stream
in wilkes-barre
cradled underwater
to glisten in the skylight
naked and unknown

motes above the drain
name the many kinds of endings
share harbor in the night
gone by day’s beginning
gone by day
a fever runs its course
indeterminate surroundings
glimpsed briefly in the floodlight
longer evenings than before
restart, restore
unknow, rescore
the warmest color shines
from the distance even shimmers
shouts pulses through the bloodline
but i know what i’m not for
restart, restore
unknow, rescore
restart, restore
unknow, rescore

mosh
it’s all we are
it’s all we are
mosh
it’s all we are
it’s all we are
cacophony made smooth in the rolling
irony made clear just for holding
the sondheim ecstasy made for searching
the sound of drunken grownups crying
desperate into
night
hit just for love
high, from above
mosh
it’s all we are
it’s all we are
pill harmony clashed un-to the owning
laudlessly clutched in the closing
we take the foreword tow
despite we’re crowing
in the matchmake
we’re growing
(and this time)
i’m afraid i like the bruising
and i won’t want to see it go
we’re sharing glances
and we’re trading blows
there’s no silver lining shared between two stones
(wrought heavy on a slender night)
it’s the guilt of it all, in the end
tender sessions missed
(soft regressions through the fight)
there’s no silver lining shared between two
stones
(wrought heavy on a slender night)
there’s no silver lining
(mosh, it’s all) we are, it’s all we are
mosh
it’s all we are
it’s all we are

and there you were
standing in the death parlor
through sliding doors
ajar onto the foyer
faced away you sang
long how you rang
guitar slung low on your horizon
looking outward
porcelain
to different lives of sorrow
familiar buoys on the inky depths
rain
too spring for march
too cold for growth
tapped in time against antique cheeks
the starlings sang along
barefoot
naked under linen button down
a plea to time itself
quiet on the promenade
how it rarifies the corner of my mind
tender you sang
long how you rang out among the moments of my life
(too spring for march too cold for growth)
from the other room i cried
(tapped in time against antique cheeks)
from the other room i smiled that you might make it out alive

far away

|
wild winds die at night
for the beauty of the earth
for the glory of the skies
though the lapping of the sea may never cease
love which from our birth
over and around us lies
we oriole
tell our story on the storm
we mourning dove
huddle close tonight for warmth
i'll clear a path for two
proclaim to gather branches
i'll scratch our name into the silence if you'll stay
avow yourself the day

painted memories
of how you move
flash before me
like a may storm and you're six years old
at your grandparents' home you hide
underneath the dining room table
and the way you move
makes me wish i could too
down on all fours
crossing white horse's asphalt
heading home
not anymore
swimming in your own piss and blood
life's molasses
and the way you move
makes me wish i could too
