We'll Be Alright, Darlin (HeliumBreath)

We were just
Checkin' in on the way
Her winds blow and
How her newest season
Affects her coast.
And for now I feel
Right at home
Lookin' o'er the
Waters Iv'e come to know.

I feel it
I've seen it
Through an unfocused camera
Flutterings of her ghost.
I hear it in the Seagull's Song
It echoes on the
Water I've always known.

Now all I really need
Is wood for the fire.
All I really want is to watch it burn.

I've always found a friend
In the old shores of West Michigan.

Where all I really need
Is wood for a fire.
And all I really want 
Is to watch it burn.

Wasted Time

Uncomfortably Numb

To the gutter. To the cool, dark soil. 
To the Breast of the Earth
 at least for a while. 
There will be no see you later’s, 
there will be no sloppy kisses goodbye. 
Please. Don’t ask me why.

Shovled away to melt with April. 
For yet another year the shoveling’s over. 
Tucked away into a corner of a musty garage,
 hidden from sight. Outta sight, outta mind.

Where did it go?

Left here in a quiet closure. 
In a silent end 
Of vaporus moistures. 
New flowers bloom new fragrance. 
With no reasons. 
Without explanations. 
With perfect patience.

Where did the snow go?

Where did it go?

The Melt

“Maybe you have been on my mind. 
I can feel your thighs, you’ve captured me wild. 
Now you’ve swallowed me up and I’m down in your bile. 
Out through the bowels ’n’ now I’m floating through the pipes 
with the muck and I’m out 
and I’m out with low tide. 
Maybe I just wanted to be on your mind. 
You took out the knife, the plate, 
now I’m out the other side 
with the bowels through the pipes
 and the muck in low tide. 
Now my heart’s in the brine.”

Summer air blew through today and it's hard to speculate that I don't feel the same. With alcohol and atom bombs it's hard to feel safe. I can't make it, man; I can't even fake it the same way.

Cellular dependancies, hyper technology, reality shows in HD, 'long with movie stars, their twitter accounts and insta-everything - I wanna vacate, man. I wanna vacate the whole goddamn scene.

An alarm wakes me up so I get up and go to work, then when I get home I sit here alone with only my phone to make - I make it tell me what I'm worth. Yeah. Woohoo.

Hush, hush now, my little one; I hate to hear you cry. I need a moment's peace and quiet so take your flat screen pacifier and zone out for a while. I won't be bothered, no, to father nor foster your sweet, growing mind.

TIME TOGO

One dollar, eighty-nine cents'll get ya
A deuce-deuce can of 'Wakee's Best.
Thank God I've got some cigarettes 
Layin' around waiting to bewilder me.
They help me to see pleasure in small tragedies.

Muddied boots and two-tack goons.
My D.U.I. has been reduced.
I notched my belt as they turned me loose.
On streets of Kalamazoo
Me and K.G.W.
When we realized that we'd met way back in '92.

On Rue De Garches tucked in St. Cloud
I caught a silent glimpse of you,
The boy who died; my fabled youth
Under a Chestnut Tree,
Rockin' two skinned knees.
He haunts the cobbled streets that run
Through ol' Paris.

Small Tragedies

You lay me down
In a watered lawn.
You lay me down.
In fresh cut vegetation.

Like a cheap Christ.

You wet my lips
With a false sense of security.
You fill my mind
With dirty thoughts.

Like some kinda cheap Christ.

Make sure the grass stays green
With a penance of alcohol.
Clean don't mean a thing
when you're quaking in your upward dog.
The betrayal of Jesus Christ.
The stink of Ignorance.
The mad portrayal of a boy
Caught in the body of a full grown man.

Oh just lay me down!
I want to sleep!
