with a sulk
and a shrug
I'm a bottled up whim
fit fur any old blows
o desire
open-toed
open tongued
she's a sweet supple
one fit for
singing with
all night
on a wine
up we go
out we go

nothing in the way of what I feel
just a million words
to stop my arms from reaching
my eyes from looking
my heart from beating

ending all the good parts

in between the way you see me
and the way I want to be seen

these things subside

look, reach
I'm beating
beat

come on
COME ON

I'm a front porch sitter and a fireworks watcher
you know where to find me

park it. hand it. right over to me.
I'm a locked door checker and a good mile marker
you know where to send me

step outside
check the sky
lock your door
hit the road

don't think twice
I'm alright

I would like to row you back
a soldier in my land

through it all again
you would
with me

arise and go

a picking up of your bed
and walking

once a rumble
set to stirring
was a violent
spiral down

led to spurring
set to slicing
and a sliding
dressing gown

upon a split
unhappy switch
came tumbling
humbly round

'til the past
a fumbling friend
was timeless
searching found

I never wanted freshblood upside my underside
now it's pushing me down, pushing me round,
pumping at my heartstrings

won't I find a way? don't I always?
stay dangerously safe, locked up inside
a bright shining whim
of blinding impulsiveness

hold on
hold on

(not on,
TO me . . . )

how many times do I have to lie here thinking of love before it sinks in? I don't ask for much of this life, only fill my arms to no end. I'm a shelled thing on my way to new homes. is this what outgrowing is all about? this is what outgrowing is all about. well tip the scales a little my way, and I won't want again. but in the meantime I'll settle ( Read more... )
