Childhood is the eyes of my mother
The house was a rental and we all wanted to leave
The neighborhood kids would want to borrow shit
I didn't like them, and they didn't like me
Oh daddys home,
he throws a mug at my head
naked under blankets he tells me about Jesus
I find a hypodermic needle under the water bed
Driving to church in the early morning
The air smells like cucumbers and wet grass
I was thinking about death every morning
but I loved to sing that's when I felt my best
Victoria comes, Victoria leaves
Victoria burrows under my bones
Victoria cries while the night light dies
Victoria burns all my poems
Sweet Sarah, sweetheart Sarah
Go back to love land where you belong
I'm sorry I didn't love you like I should have
but I'm glad that I left you a song
feels like today

Dance to airfare talent
Incarcerate vague ideas in exchange for some comfort, and the same old song
I'm not sure about it, but somebody said that's a good start
Longing for wilderness and hungry for extinction
my compadres hang loose with dirty clothes hand pressed over torn sofas
I dip my toe in my phone from the opposite, quietly
Somebody says something important but I'm not paying attention
Watch me give everything away
I'll hear back about it in a couple of weeks
Meanwhile exploring other alleyways
exhausted by the time the car cuts me off
Burning in the corner of the living-room
an extinguished light by midnight
and imaginary sex before bed
Who's there tomorrow, who sticks around tomorrow?
If no one answers, there's nobody left

deep hope

Trail my minds love along your string
leave my condolences with the names in the back seat
Inside an arid desert mountains grow yellow-green
Life for half a day
However much that could mean
Thunder clap drops the payload
while me and the cactus kids drink opaque water out of muddy holes in the ground
-
Of course there's a lover behind
water-light bouncing off of her poolside
of course there's room for our deep hope to bloom
into black suede and wine
-
Morphing silhouette over years
shaping and pulsating colors around
Desperately paint my heart
compass my hands towards you
Holding my breath underwater
Holding the reef in my mind
Sketch for you, strain the water out
Sketch for you, strain the blood out of it,
sprain my neck and lie you back down
around here
-
an engine drags hard beyond the view and rips you away
along the road flies a metal abstract
it roars a thousand miles
racing opposite the sun you feel comfort in the dark
the wind cuts cold but your hands take it in to fill the canyon cracks in your heart
you yell upwards and it rips away
disconnects the joints and rips you away
sink lifestyle into lifetime and rips you away
you bark smoke on command
the feature fades
the credit reel pans sideways
-
our love never settles down
the stones there don't go far
they wear themselves down into dirt
and dragged to the mouth
