where is
my white wedding
dress ?

Your prettiness is seeping through
Out from the dress I took from you
So pretty
And my emptiness is swollen shut
Always a wretch - I have become*
So empty
And please, please don't leave me

I'm watching Naomi, full bloom
I'm hoping she will soon explode
Into one billion tastes and tunes
One billion angels come and hold her down
They could hold her down until she shines

I'm tasting Naomi's perfume
It tastes like **** and I must say
She comes and goes most afternoons
One billion lovers wave and love her now
They could love her now and so could I

There is no Naomi in view
She walks through Cambridge stocks and strolls
And if she only really knew
One billion angels could come and save her soul
They could save her soul until she shines

So pretty

*And please, please don't leave me here.

Chest tight as you depart
into the foggy grove:
A black speck dissolving
into forest green.
Sitting on a stump,
willing we cross paths,
again. Calm as dew.
Precipitation
cools a warmed heart.

We live in lives full of lies,
Everyone.
A few words that sleep beneath your rough, cold skin, waiting.
Waiting and watching as your world changes colour; obnubilates and conceals the white.
All the while you are oblivious, too caught up in a web contrived of pure mystery.
Woven by predujicious circles of black.
Did you hear that?

I can see more until the light bends photographs out of shape
and the landscape changes.

Sometimes I grow up and become an adult
but mostly I play with my train set,

I don't get the whole adult thing anyway
bills to pay
arguments and
hell to pay,

girls who want to play house
(for real)

I'm co-opted in to the stereopticon
picture palisades to fence with pirates.

but the light bends through me onto
the high sea
and the cannons roar defiance.

Somewhere where I think I could be
you see me
somewhere else.

shadows shift
the evening lifts another veil
and I set sail
again.

It's just a switch
we have to flick
to give
a kickstart to a
heart that stops
mid beat.

so
satisfy this curiosity
let me see
let me be the one
let me flick the switch
and turn you on.
