Cold Malaise

When you’ve got the afternoon to fill
And the salty call is clear and cold
Pavement stings so crisply underfoot
Or the muddled muse of these few days
Could just melt away this cold malaise
Burning off this undecided mess
When the Harleys are a swarm of flies
The looks you get are less than impressed
So long since you’ve factored in a rest
And her one intent is to see you lost
For she’s all too often paid the cost
Of watching you go halfway more than once
The current is slow but open water lies
ahead of the bow
You’ve taken this load
put it to the test
Burning off this undecided mess
When you’ve heard the loudest notes impale
As they’re standing still in the night
Before the gentle cry
The screens and all their sexist claims
Provoke the deepest thought
And evoke the slowest tears

Love of the words
You're so invincible
Mystery then
Can be a boulevard
Moved to be where
You have no obstacles
Fantasy then
Can be a cornerstone
Dear child
We're so immune!
...To this agony
Love at the end
You're not so plausible
To wait until then
Won't be an easy load

My Sick and Worthy Heart

See - see I stand by
To care or write you back
Prevailing winds
Say not a chance
And all your IV tubes
Or medical attentions
Won’t return
Negative reflections
See - see I can too
Make a life of words
Attentions glide
Away from my perceptions of you,
my sick and worthy heart
my dear and worthy heart

Olive 1&2

...and all the woe that came after your tender cries
Leaves have shivered and descended
We looked after your needs and your every move
Olive it wasn’t right
...and every minute after that
Sixty seconds couldn’t contain your wrath
Olive it wasn’t the fault of the people you made into toys
Olive, it wouldn’t have changed
The forest that brought you here remains
(Olive, our one and only)
Olive, you lost the way love
Olive in not so many words
All of these confrontations
Have given me the nerve
...and every minute after that
I never had the time to see your dad
Olive, the shadow that passed
Cold and sarcastic, clear as glass
You wouldn’t think of us now, if you ever bothered to think
(Olive, our one and only)

Breathe this dry and salty cloud
With your white limbs spread out
for the rain
There is incense in the air,
A fragrance that takes root in my lungs
Little flowers grow out of my mouth
The sun's a traitor at best
Through this dry and salty cloud
Suddenly I’m aware of an old friend
perched on my shoulder
You’re late but I’m pleased to make your acquaintance once again
The sun's a traitor at best
Through this dry and salty cloud
