last time you taught me i was far too flat to listen to the truth between the spaces to pick the wisdom from each statement this time i’ll hear the darkness too

burn it down
I don’t believe in brothers And I don’t believe in the brotherhood of man And I don’t know much about anything but i know i need a smooth operator I wish I was a normal guy that kava had me feeling pretty And I think I let you in. It was smart, it was sweet I try to say goodbye, And you sweep me off my feet I try to play it cool But I crave your lovin on me It’s centrifugal motion But your still on my lonely mind It’s that pivotal moment And I dream about you all the time When you Take it on back And turn on the red light it’s like a thousand Julys ——————————/——————————— I don’t wish, I don’t want to wish, Wishing only wounds the heart. I’m tired of being played like a violin Always betting and loosing on love But When I get, what I really really want, I need ****** healing. Even when I dream of you, I try to fly and fall. The sweetest dream will never do, Without my wings I feel so small. I guess I need you baby And I don’t wanna miss a thing This kiss this kiss You’ll be with me in my dreams This kiss this kiss tonight it’s you and me Even when i dream of you its centrifugal motion without my wings i feel so small and i dream about you all the time

STREAM
Two guys drowned in my backyard... a month and a half ago. At first I thought I would process it spiritually, and I tried: sitting shiva on the dock reading tim leary’s book of the dead writing poetry while they were in the bardo But their death has become a social metaphor. A transitional event, transitional like: covid the recession and 9/11                         They are Boys Forever Even though they were both men, and brothers aged 26 and 30, they are frozen forever, anywhere before their death. they are the 90s and 2000s, and most importantly the 2010s, but definitely not the 20s. So, I swirl my callused toes around in the water’s particles wondering what pieces of them may be left behind from before they fished the bodies out. I wonder, what those pieces saw, what secrets those pieces saw, when, if ever those pieces were loved. People extrapolate theories as to how a day of causal boating could result in the senseless death of two brothers, letting their phobia’s and traumas project upon the event ie; “they were doped up” “they were fighting” “they were drunk” Why can’t we just let them be mythic?

you’ll find it on the back streets on hot and humid nights. you’ll smell the night is tinged with something sacrine bleeding melancholic. remembering nights when me and my guy would be altered and get nostalgic; remembering times when decaying crusts of summers browning bronzed you; ask me how the back end of his thigh tastes... fluorescent? what about the inside of his neckline... phosphorescent? full gut but somehow craving, so sweet but somehow rotting, in the halogen lights, what is this smell? : magnolia

drag the winter on oh how i long for an end to this winter. the healing that comes with the sunshine of may the bounty we gather                        around the hearth, the lovers we remember with the thawing of earth.                   who would have thought                    last summer would end?

Inviting it to become stronger like a drug taking over you continue to sink in It doesn’t need to change the fact you’re loosing time the wide road before you try not to fight it try just to sink into it

highway hypnosis
Ms. Del Rey says “the world is made for two”, but her idea of two is some fresh hell; it’s seems that Lana thinks a girl’s abuse, is cinematic fodder one can sell. The other woman sings about her man. “sO pOPuLIiSt” with flowers on her head. While some may come from poor & tell the tale, Del Rey wears being poor like it’s a dress.  But voices that she channels in her songs, Bespeak a femme fatale alone, and they,   Are both no one, and everyone in one. The guardians of endless summer days.
