I don't want to play hide & sneak (boo & peak)
anymore with you.

I don't want to slide up or down your rain barrel
nor open my cellar door (1, 2, 3, 4) anymore
with you.

No more K-I-S-S-I-N-****** for you, doodle dandy.
Don't want your big rock, nor let you eat my candy.

Eeny, meeny, miney, moe. Skin-to-skin, toe-to-toe.
I pick the very best one,
And you are not it.

Well you knocked on my door
knock, knock, knocked on my door
and when I opened the door,
you said you missed me.
Yes, you missed me.
Well you walked in my room,
you walk, walk, walked in my room,
and you kissed me.
Yes, you kissed me.
Ah, yes.
You kissed me.
Then I went to my car
and you followed me out,
I said it's time to go,
and you knew what I meant,
then I kissed you.
I kissed you.
Then I drove away,
'cause I'm leaving you now,
but I miss you.
Oh, I miss you.
Yes, I miss you.
I miss,
miss,
miss,
miss,
miss you.

I dreamt we were all there -
family
friends
and he saw me, pretending I didn't
know him
in front of my
family
friends.
From across the room he signed to me in a language I understood,
"I love you."
("Love" was like a
boat
cradle
in the palm of his hand,
more like,
"I'll hold you.")
Maybe that's what love is
after all
anyway.

I have eaten
the last
doggy treat
it was
the best one
cause it
was made out
of meat

I know
you were probably
saving it
for snack time

Forgive me
I just couldn't bear
you're the one
who left it
on the chair
you're the one
who shouldn't have
left it there

My Husband

You reject me
& neglect me

You query me
& you weary me

You control me
& annul me

You coax me
& you hoax me

You disturb me
& perturb me

You vex me
& perplex me

You taunt me
& you haunt me

You ignore me
& you bore me

You blame me
& you shame me

You leave me
& deceive me

You cage me
& enrage me

You invade me
& degrade me

You bait me
& you hate me


My lover

You see me
& you free me

You kiss me
& you miss me

You warm me
& you charm me

You respect me
& protect me

You perceive me
& believe me

You hear me
& endear me

You mend me
& defend me

You delight me
& excite me

You face me
& embrace me

You esteem me
& redeem me

You ease me
& you please me

You know me
& you show me

You romance me
& enhance me
The lover in imaginary....

Everywhere I go
Everybody wants to know
"Where's the lady"
They all ask
I answer, hiding behind a mask
Of smiles and laughs,
And say to them:
"She's gone, she won't be back again;
I don't care"
And shrug my shoulders.
But now my life is so much colder
I walk alone, the crowded streets
And tell my tale to friends I meet
Then I turn, walk on with the truth
With tear-filled eyes
I think of you
Upon the restless sea,
A woven water-proof basket floats,
A baby in its warm interior
Thumb in mouth,
Beautiful eyes fixed to the sky.


Basket floats for days,
Pulls close to shore one night,
And out crawls an infant into the water,
Out wades a little boy,
On the shore trudges a stark naked man,
Dripping with all glory.


Stops he does, and glances back at his basket
Before he morphs into an albatross
And soars into the sky.
What can not be explained.
