Down 07:34
When the old blue firmament comes to meet the river's bend, I'll lie down with you. When the old blue firmament crashes through the sunken stems, I'll lie down alone. Air Breathing, whistle blowing, you don't go that far. Even when the dogs are sleeping I know where you are. Come down.

Claws 03:06
Transmission towers looking frigid in warm weather standing still against the blue, gray and sober like a puddle in November as I waited for you. I don't want to see you now; I just want to go back down. . Consume make me come true. My head and the exit. I know you don't mean it. My head at the exit. You said it's never silly but you laugh at everything oh my god you laugh at everyone.

Foggy Trees 02:22
Hope is a picture of me kneeling on your couch in a dress like a feather with some red around my mouth. Pull me down; I'll sink here with the stupid little thought. You're so kind but if I see you I will see just how I'm not. This stretch of sidewalk always makes me think of you and how the pressure in my head made it feel ok to move. Blackbirds in the branches, leaves all rustling and red; you didn't sound that far away from the phone against my head. When the winter ends I will see you once again, bright as I can be.

A Vampire 03:41
I thought a kiss was dry and bright like wine that's cold and golden white but close your eyes the way you might, the amber falls down out of sight. To be in your world. Tell me what I oughta know, hot hands that fumble in the cold. Blushing with that shameful glow; a heart entombed in pissed on snow. To be in your world, to put it lightly, would be strange. Don't start that it hurts. Brand new year again: snow falls and I learn nothing. Young and dumb and full of blood I shed you now. We were cutting out snowflakes on your couch. I will be Victoria's boy at your door. I'll bring the Christmas tree around.

I gave her half-hearted head in the space between the blankets and the bed. And in the falling dark the sick filled up my head and then my heart. When I got home I watched a movie about Siberia. The cold reached in. She was just like me with expectations that this world could never meet. I mean that when I think of love I think of stillness that's ashamed and virginal: pussy willow in a vase, star-colored aments that will stay the same always. When I think of you I think of you a long way off. When I think of you I think of "you" I think of no one.

ask the question see the words ask the question be absurd in the space there mercuric sew a patch in with your lips on it is it called a mistake cut away bang my orange head on blue snowflakes fall in shallow pools coral branches red on white mine's a mouth that's lost it's bite toothless is it called a mistake cut away

Brian 02:42
Brian was a fighter, chased light on the floor, fists clenched through the hallway and straight out the front door. Standing in blue gowns sweet-thinking of worse times: Brian in the mirror, his face twisted up in mine. Goosebumped in my tee-shirt and spinning the racket, I might just hit the net if I'm aiming right at it. Brian was a winner in gym class this year: fist pumped when the birdie flew over into the clear.

House Rules 04:23
Spare and full, your house rules 'cause it looks like you. Miracle push and pull, do I look like you? When I ask about your day you know I ask the selfish way. Shy away, keep my place, I won't say too much. We could stay bored and safe; I won't be enough. When I ask about your day you know I ask the selfish way. Spare and full, your house rules. You're a miracle.

Part Four 04:26
In my defense something past tense that you told me before we closed all of the doors. Seasons can change with missed holidays but morning's gone so fast; Halloween's come and passed. For a second I thought I lost my mind over you. Oh Where does wind start and end? Just like a branch, my will bends in you hands. I really hope that you get better. Wish you were here but I guess it's whatever. I'll be your friend if you want me to be. I don't care if it's not like the movies.

Drowse 03:47
Somnolent sun, are you the one bleeding or bruising up the sky as you fall behind the old world's silhouette? Drowsy old day, sleep it away, breathing against hair of willow's white as you close your eyes to dreams of no regret. And all the time as clouds slide by the day is ending. (The firmament in plum blush and salmon) and when the moon wells in the sky it's just reflecting you. (The blue windows, the stars all silver and cold)
