It's a single tear, lip bite, look away, stomach ache, kind of day.

My memories could tear us apart but I prefer to reassure myself with hope

It's a feeling feelings, making lunch, slow song swinging, kind of day.

Singing along makes me feel less alone, silver skies let go in unison

It's rain city, umbrella bump, holding hands and letting go, kind of day.

Wondrous limbs tangle in my mind, something feels stuck in my throat

It's a realize that someone else's hands will never make me feel more alive than yours do kind of day.

We're sitting in your ride, listening to our favorite lines
I swayed, remembered and I closed my eyes
The soft, quick drops ran down my cheek

trickled right to the heart, warming my chest
and a swelling started, ribs crack and flesh
parting, I can't contain this feeling anymore

and guess what, guess what, I don't have to
A beautiful love is born, and pain plus pain
Equals a joy as easy as two plus two

A touch on my thigh opens my mind
I turn to you, and your smile is kind
There's no where I'd rather be
than here staring at you.

She paints her toes
Put her best face on
Cat eye wings drawn
Red lipstick promises
A tender heart beneath
White teeth lie and bite
Hide the charred insides
Assuming her favorite disguise
Her smile shows no sign of grace
Darker than the dead of space
Heat and chemical sprays
No part of her left genuine
A glance in the mirror
Before she goes out
Nothing can touch her
Except her own doubt

Perfect, she breathes
Perfect, she lies
Perfect, she screams
Perfect, she dies

I've discovered a sense of loss and acceptance.
I hope this is only a new lesson in patience.
The last thing I want is mindless complacence.
So, I let go of the edge, and launch out to sacrifice
A few degrees to the right and, Houston, we have compromise.

Let's drop off the arrogance in the cold dark of space
And pick up humility on the way back to intelligence
The unreachable dream becomes once more tangible
I swirl it and spit, the image is palpable
Happiness isn't lies, it's something more valuable

I plunder my mind's eye, I find silvery judgement
Trust issues aside, I have to know my own justice
Grasp and define, I search for some substance
I remember a time when I spoke up in classes
Asked too many questions, written up for being curious

Well, I found a voice
I am a force
Reckon with me
You have no choice
There is that pride
I must apologize
If you can still speak
I'll listen, I'll try

I dedicate this one to Daniel James.

Step over step, a skip and a stoop
You watch while I laugh
and I sing while you dance
We pretend we're all we have

The woods around are echoing sounds
The town is close and the railroad ties
They bake in the sun, old familiar smells
Of oil and wood and bright, clear skies

I miss the comfort
I miss the house
I miss where we were
I miss our bouts

Let's put a penny on the track
Pretend that train is rushing back
Let's put a chance card in the bag
and pull out one where it's our turn
again

A bittersweet ending
It's almost what you wanted
You think you know what's best for me
I guess you're just too honest

Because if there was such a thing
Treasure it and keep it bound
like an old diamond ring
You'll pass the goodness down

I miss the comfort
I miss the house
I know where we are
And I still miss our bouts

Let's put a penny on the track
Pretend that train is rushing back
Let's put a chance card in the bag
and pull out one where it's our turn
again

Crown your hair with daisies
They may wilt but I will not
I can wait for answers
Patience learned but never taught

Kick the ruts in the path
We can tap our heels together
I'll be waiting on the tracks
No regrets here whatsoever

I miss your comfort
I miss the house
I know where you are
and what we're all about

I am a flighty, preachy girl,
doesn't mean I don't know a thing or three.
If you think you've owned me with hurled words,
labels are sticky and I'm allergic to most glue.

You'd feel the same sting
if you were told who you are.
In fact I'm sure you're afraid anyway,
that I'll pass judgement on you too.

Let's have a talk with substance,
just you and I alone.
Your ego must be frightened
by my will to bare my truth.

And if you don't feel like talking,
I'll fire up the blow torch
and teach you how to dance
There's no stance I could think of,
that would leave a mark on you.

Fading away, like a music.
No jolts, no sadness.
Just a beautiful face.
Religious sacrement is ambiguous.

Failed priests. Another age.
But why would you sacrifice?
Offering instant gratification
to the masses.
Malicious intent is still intent.
Another dimension. Another reality.
Goodbye.

Who do I listen to?

Perhaps you should have stayed
silently, creating something
special with your studies.
Build your wealth,
employ your sciences only with
amazing goals. Ah, my brain.

Must charter the universe.
There is no web, there is no
spider weaving. Only matter.

Matter and history.
Learn from us, your bitter
ancestors, the sweep of evolution.
The great story, you martyr.
You seem reluctant.

The shores, they lick at your
ankles. Salt deposits and foam.
All that is, or ever was.
Contemplations stir.

Leave us alone, without our
sensations of grandness.
I need not your preaching,
your sadness, your dust.

Tiny planetary moulding rock.
Simply dangerous and promising.
Why must I trust another speck
with my entire life? My fate?

It is my own truth, filled with
speculations and masturbations.
Exquisite relationships only
fill me with tainted deepness.

Some part of me knows.
That Ocean is entirely my body.
Starstuff and dust.
My journey begins in my skull.

Tapping my temple, I pull apart
the dandelion puff and bite
the bitter milk.
The blood, plants scream when they
are plucked.

Their juices are not for such as I.
First voyages and scienctists
are better than my own cries.
The depths of embedment are vast.

Birth, live, death, tumultuous.
Jets of energy, my core is
incinerated.
Detroy all in our path.
A splash in my pond, step, step.
A ring, your iris it shines.

Holy local groups, I find.
Containing island chains.
Only 2 million years from home.
Passing over our satellites.

No more writing, no more stars.
Gravity prevails and globes unite.
Centres are millions strong,
like a swarm, a sun, the bee has
stung.
Impossible to stuff the guts.

Spiralling in nothingness.
Arms turn, turn away. Turn from
my face. Curdles outside.
Our home is orange and wide.
Blue in the obscure waters, we
have evolved.

Such intelligence is no indication
that any edge-on view is right.
Please, don't tell me what to believe.
