{inspired by Krista Dellefemine}
I see you carry a heavy metal soul
It must sound like thunder
When the rain comes
You are visible to some, like me
You must know, we walk a long road
Never to get home, but it's alright
Some paths don't lead nowhere
To go on wandering is no curse
I see you carry a heavy metal
Soul

My son was losing his mind tonight. He so wanted to know what his gifts where
The excitement was fun, annoying, sweet
He's not too big to sleep deeper in our bed. So we tucked him in so he would sleep, he went out so fast.
He feels safer in our bed. I wonder how many more years he's gonna want to sleep in here at all. I want to remember every minute. Before he really hits hormonal.
I miss him as a baby, but this is maybe better
As he knows his options and still chooses me
His dad, even his sisters.
My wishes have all come true, mostly
If only my own father issues were so easy
But now I must sleep too
Big day when these kids wake up

Nobody is pure.
Everything is broken or simulated.
Who can show me truth
In a handful of dust?
Trust yourself, if you will
But beware the stealth
Of love that finds you
Sleeping
Nothing is real.
The concept of reality
Died a hard death
Several ages past
Time for tea
Now. Now we will take
Tea together and talk
About sapphires, garlic,
Mules.
Tell me about the robot
Mules back home....
On your planet

Dreams of flying ladies drinking tea
They hold parasols, and glide about
Mocking me
Admiring their audacity
Earthbound, I stare jealously
Wait for my Self to wake
Sort it, shake it off
Or learn their tricks so
Assiduously
As flying I might see All
Differently

April never did a thing to me yet
There is a mean month caught my
Fingers in a cold vise, because of
Memory and desire
Memory, desire, and you, always
Hit me in the dark days of Winter
You, yes you, so silent then
Now you wish to speak so
It's not in me to turn away
Sing to me.

So little can be known about the other
Would I know you anywhere, indeed,
Not likely, but I hope to try.
Just the thought of you, say the songs
All regrets still cut me, my mind hears
You saying that to me, nightly.
I passed regret but got stuck
On a broken freeway onramp
Between Las Olvidas and Sixth Street.
Might be here a long time.

I sleep less than ever now
it feels as though I guard
These helpless dreamers
With my garlic love
My son believes I can
Vanquish his monsters
So he takes his father’s place
Beside me, finally breathing
I read Eliot and shudder,
Terrible beauty, portents all.
Morning finds my girls
Happy, powerful
Twinned, they dream of war
Conquer planets, so I wonder
At such creatures they become
Fearful of the sacrifice
Such savagery is due

Pop, if you said yes...
I would do anything
A child remains a child
Forever
Fevered and hot like
A bad telegraph
That never ceases
You and me, no ease
But if you said yes,
I would meet you in dark subway
Places and run to you, I am the diligent
Strung tightly in a web of all our places
We might get there yet.
