Baby, be honest
You live for the living
You're not so empty
But you're always in trouble

Baby, my heart
Is a blossom of meaning
I just wanna love you
Like I want to feel loved.

Perambulation's a grotesque crack on gravity--
Bending knees sending us sideways into turns and eddies..

Aloof, you say it's comical
With your gilded expression and clever slights of motion.

But here, I see you narrowing
Stuck in my awkward corner of Society
Pinned between dimensions in the grand scheme of things
I am the backside of the deal
The marriage of bone marrow
And death's razor
Bubbling around you,
All the lysing parasites and wasting nutrients
All the questioned purpose and reeling emotion
I will serve you greatly
Or else, slough the rind of flesh

There, I see you walking
Hooked on destination
Pretty Christmas bauble, seething
Jewel of my surprise.

how could i spend time wisely
but stars come whole and never in fractions
they burst all at once
and never suffer loss because
what they are is just a chain reaction

and yet i feel shame
to suggest I shouldn't is to find something to blame
to behold a daisy is to prefer it
and to prefer it
is to destroy it

And the beholder's eye sacrifices its own artisthood
to receive full credit in the form of false witness
the barren wasteland of the soul opens up
and yawns to swallow it

or yawns to yawn
and turn another page, the book is bound in my spine

Sometimes I wonder why i
hold on
So tight
To the thing that
Killed me
When it lets me down so often
Makes me feel
So awkward
Sends a buzzing message
That I guess I don't belong

You might think I'm crazy
For saying that at this point
Babe, I love you dearly
Don't mistake the message

It's just that there's this problem
We're never seen here solving
Don't blame you for a second
Baby, blame me.

I know where we're going

Radiant, she's radiant
She lavishes the vision
Exuding something more
Than all the sunlight she is draped in.

The sun is dripping off her,
She is saturated through
With light
And through again
With her own, special kind of light.

Deep within the wellspring of her heart,
There, something gushes
Rich and so imbued
With all the colors of her love.

I have known true radiance
Who does know how to hide--
But just how well she does it
Is for her to decide.

You're crisp as popcorn, baby
Mind the sensation, but you won't have to do it twice
You're dying in a finished house
With all your relatives around

Now don't go thinking it's a big happy time
And start sniffing your own farts,
What I'm really saying is once you're off, you're off
And I know you have nightmares about it
But you never have to do the same thing twice.
