half-closed with gratitude/you'd discovered
what differences come before
I'd never wanted for asking, behind what
broke up my life before
strength and illness abound us/two families
can be quite so severe
You with your dark curls of abandon
while I walk soft streets some way
Never wait for the quiet rain
streetcleaners all look back behind the plains
stand by your beckoning hand
polished suit set above our frames
your summer dress shone so brightly
you vowed off all your findings
we saw the same sign at first hit
the boundaries I've learned where to follow when it's too
good to explain

Red stripe, run out
where do we go from here?
Cool hands rest on time
I'd wandered wherever the show
had set off triple alarms
sewn up stitches, let me
mention back papers like they
fit this very stage
A forsaken field
where stars stood
up on this very stage
it seems so quaint
but a summer place just
rings of so much more.

let him send us a wind then
we cannot come to them
she held their land
this aspect, theirs if they please
there are moments
and there are days
when I feel so free of my pain
not the least that, I'll die tomorrow
not the least that, won't die for nothing
not the least that "she's an errant witch"
she said "I'll answer for nothing"
what they do is of their own branch
I should betray
against design, no child will be forced out
they do come to you, but you don't hear them
I know better than right
not deem it fit, just if it's used to
I should live among you, steady on your words
young lamb lost, left to burn
young lamb lost, left to burn
left to burn

I have allies
to know you not to tell me
to listen carefully
hearings come through years
come on, get up and go
I want this one, today
never said she's worn but
she has been chased
we are lifelike
here, to the ends
pay me in ash and
I won't give them your name

somehow you were able to travel
the dreams of experience
caught between four walls, two worlds
dream away another time
second line was corner to none
I had no chance to despair
Little girl went crossing away
parked cars against the night
I see your futures and they look away
Back is blank, the blanket's upstairs
stretch out on the floor
while the sun hits the windowpane
and it's soft and fine, finder's keepers

capo on 1st fret, making this one EAEBBE
Assume very low
Release in still-time
I could cover his grave with lead
Or just a wraith beside the stone
Remove your edges, (first folds)
In any way their demands
Were they truly sincere?
Or have the words been
only all along for them?
Let him go off on his-way
His hand out in the air
He left in seconds, while
No one spoke beside the calm
On days could I
Fill my head with uncertainty
My witness bore no honest truth
Leave me alone in my time
Blankets wrapped around my form
From which I can’t unlearn
I won’t come home
No I don’t ever leave home
End

Optic Stream
raise that everloving head on
up above your own collarbone
dips down so slightly
you can cover up but you
won't have to if you feel
you're not listening
I said both ways leave for the end
we've little time before the train comes
roar steadfast and narrow breast
catch insolent huffs of fear
pouring out its heads
but you've got two mirrors on
this night/at that
turn down the left lane....
I fell asleep again
I never know which way at dusk
steady hands to bring me inside
Can I calm another wishing?
Can you ask for something stolen?
Wish away the times you denied
yourself and your others availed
awaken soft temper
temperament
smooth underneath the sail
