HOW AMAZING

i could let our song play out of time
and let our mouths make up our minds
paint in the numbers, say “we made it” (for now)
wood isn’t the leaves in mounds   
roots aren’t the trees underground
call us divine, make us deranged

so divided - how amazing 
how could i, how the hell?

i could beg the exit for a sign
dress up the wounds, cover(them), call it fine  
swallow (chew at) the anchor and the chain
 
the air is sweet but sucked out
i’ve stubbornly denied it
the air is sweet, but i’ve denied it

HERE LIES

Lifelike / dead wolves (mouth to mouth)
In other words: we’re safe and sound
A blinded songbird scared of heights
In other words: in other words

We came the right time but had the wrong door
Said the right words, and played the wrong chords
In every way we’re showing up down

I never loved “here lies” - If it were up to me
I’d bury all the headstones and show the lovely people
Make it worth their time while they turn to seed
Bury all the headstones and show the lovely people
 
Lighthouse / heavy (set for life)
In other words: turn wrongs to right
Now we’re always showing up down

I WON

skin-thick stuck to the covers
blades fanned out for each other
cut through lips and touching salt

wasted time to the rescue
touch turns solid and see-through
old is gold but it rubs off

nothing lost, nothing to find
no one to dig us up
let it rest and let things lie
blown wide open and shut

code-switch to bone, oh the frightened
blood taste of iron, chewing diamonds
I once had a voice but it’s gone soft 

pull me in the fold. dark can drag us 
both over the coals but it’s left you 
fired up and it turns me off
  
I lost it. I won.

hands, hang them on a wreath
pines for remembering
alive and a liar
dance in a fire 
ashes ashes we all fall down

DEATH X DEAR

woke pinned under glass
what couldn’t happen, happened slow
i’m playing to snakes 
charming a heart shaped chokehold

write me your versions of wrong
sing to me in severe, answer calm

death x dear sweetheart
all the false alarms
only i’d know - as k me

broke-handed intact
where’d all the mindless moments go? 
let’s be erased, deaden our unsung echo

right me your) versions of wrong
sing to me in severe, answer calm

death x dear sweetheart

arc isn’t flash
bright isn’t broken windows
fuse isn’t blast
and we’re not the light that gets to glow

write me your versions of wrong
sing severe, answer calm
