My love
In every type of weather
Gets cold
Wants to wear my sweater
Laughs
Tells me it's forever
Goes away
And knows we're still together

A city asleep is ruthlessly efficient
Dreams are distributed
Hopes exhibited
Snapshots in time briefly revisited
New lovers, children
The functionally insane
Serenely succumb to the sandman
To visions that satisfy attention spans
To nightmares that vanish with morning Raisin Bran
But poets and drunkards resist this plan
They walk through empty streets
Feeling incomplete
Taking their women ***** and their whiskey neat
Finally they too surrender to sleep
Tossed by worries into withering wind
Of dragons and fax machines
Of reality dimmed
Sunrise distorts them and they vanish as they begin
Just like tomorrow
And tomorrow again

Flee from the borders
Let the walls fall
Crumbling buildings and buried roads
Bullets, mortars
Claim them all
The dead overwhelm us
Too many to mourn
Proud soldiers and prouder mothers
Ashes, dust
The levies of war

Last night
We dreamed
That each of us was waiting
Tonight
I sleep
With the memory of you fading
Muddled in my brain
I try to reexplain
Our love is sweet stupidity
Wasted champagne

Once there were days
Before that there were weeks that pressed on like pistons
From moments into memories
Refugees of our forgotten obligations clung to them like broken glass
Waiting to be tenderly left to rot
Waiting as we do
Time passes
Time smothers
Our cherished children grow
To deny love and life to others
Sensations and symbols silently consume you
They fool you and school you and satisfy you until you're lost in them and you wake up weeks later wondering what they were
Sensations and symbols
Built by drifting generations
Improved, covered in graffiti, rediscovered and left to crumble
Now, before and soon again

You malicious magpie
You beautiful freak
Chalk up your cheek
Keep your poisons beneath
Fire oozing
Winds confusing
Sands turning feelings to shadows
Of boredom
Of hunger
Of shame
Accept it
Your breath was like fire
And my lips were too dry
Both eyes dug into me
But one of them lied
Constantly
Like seas
Searching for shore
Responsibly
The whole thing
Smother it
Louder
It's nighttime
And you're far away
Part of me's sad
But not today
And not tomorrow
Acknowledge it

Listlessly
Hope?
Hairy
A hippopotamus slain
Leeward shores
Drifting days
A cup that can't be raised
Hours and hours of counting your flowers
Etch
And pray for pain
Toga way
A he I say
And swirl down the drain
Memories-emotions
Nothing never gone
Conflating with hating
Regurgitating
Til all of it is gone

Eat your crumpled sweater
Drink sweat from in my mind
Close up all those new ideas
And still feel empty inside
Do not sit beside me
Do not claim my time
I've never had your gifts or treasures
But I'd give them up for empty rhymes
Open up my final will
And read between the lines
Or cross crooked through the origin of bellyaches and sighs
Heal my laughter
Ringing chimes
A thousand equals zero
And nothing that is mine
Who would know what started in sadness would finish like a bee in a bottle of wine?
Trying to tempt our ticking time
Gold and silver rusting
Today I crawled through a broken fantasy
And looked for light on every side
Do not say you'll try to love me;
we both believe you when you lie

A personable person propogated passion
Beneath my heavy heart
Alas, cried the caterpillar
You are not dead!
Though I have spent hours molesting your windowsill
Rapeseed!
Huckleberry!
Gingerbread Pie!
All these things and more have I maliciously misunderstood
But the lies of the soothsayer are frequently true
They are passionate pomegranates from me to you
The obelisks of oppression overpower your heartstrings
And there's nothing you can do
My villain!
My thief!
The princess of my misery!
The fiery orb and the blasphemous pirates!
Staring at your shoulders I see only my reflection
Turning on your heel my eyelids sparkle and linger at your doorstep
It's Goliath's head
Salmon and bread
Those deathly ideas which you purposely said
Tic tac guru
Just what is he to you?
And which of my words have you read?

Gilded grapefruit and yellow tea fall softly from my lips
But when I'm alone with electric boredom
Reading trains and zits
Its and bits
Flowers for her hips
They never seem to get to her
And suddenly it ends
