Stalking Horse

Cracks in the window
Form a spiderweb
It sucks on you
Until your bloodless
Put the last brick into place
Spread the mortar with your hand
And seal it off
Celebrating in your cell
Nineveh
I love ya
The stalking horse
Running its course
Thousand pieces on the floor
Cut your feet on the egregore
Rotating revolution
But your chamber is filled with displacement
Standing sideways to the fun
Lose your hearing staring at the sun
Every echo in a cave
Immaterial domination
Nineveh
I love ya
The stalking horse
Running its course

Holy Thursday

Hit thirty get your feet on the ground
Foundation is sound
You're adorned and crowned
Duty bound
No more fucking around
Brick by brick and pound for pound
Your nephew looking like Charlie Brown
A little hair of the dog
But you're worried about
What's going down
Down down down
Halfway across town
They're bugging out
Going to ground
The lights in the street
Your eyes in the snow
Baby where I'm going you can't go
I'll make you a room
I'll make you a home
Cause baby tonight the trees are hanging low
I met you on a porch in the Fort
Boston Celtics shirt
And a mini skirt
I was too high to flirt
But I saw from the start
There'd be cardinals
Bathing in the dirt
Holy Thursday going two by two
Face the Bridegroom
I imagined you
Lying down on the pew
Like you were two
Falling asleep
Cause there's nothing else left to do
The lights in the street
Your eyes in the snow
Baby where I'm going you can't go
I'll make you a room
I'll make you a home
Cause baby tonight the trees are hanging low

Tight Rope
09:32

|

Forgetful mountain up ahead
Go down its pathway to forget
But now you'll see the undernetting
Wake up with criss crosses on your face
Occluded pain fills up boxes
Haunts thermal readings of our homes
Hold your tongue up to the wound now
Like dog without a bone
Press her for the answers
Day by day by day by day
Hold the head of power
Worship what you blame
It’s a tight rope
And you might go
It’s a high hope
It’s a tight rope
Burn down a house you don’t remember
It’s floating ashes taste like wine
Prostrate before your God’s eraser
Double negative of time
Heart headed angel underneath
On your arm as if to speak
“This day will be like any other
And another, and another”
Hard up for the balance
Year by year by year
Thought you’d find another body
Blood skin bones all crystal clear
It’s a tight rope
And you might go
It’s a high hope
It’s a tight rope

Silent Night

I talked to you on the phone the other day the other day
And you told me that some things were going bad were going bad
So I sat down on my bed and I watched the sun go down
And I wished that I could help in some way in some way
You suffer, you suffer, you lose
Cutting down a pine tree on the news
Paint a perfect picture, fight a perfect fight
Fall into your silent night
I was sick and I was little and I went up to your room
And I stood over your bed over your bed over your bed
And I sat down on the floor and I leaned against the wall
And I sat there all night long all night long all night long
You know who you are you are you are you are you are you are
You know who you are you are you are you are you are you are
You know who you are you are you are you are you are you are
You know who you are you are you are you are you are you are

Come to you
Eyes closed
Like to see
You tomorrow
Totally
Totally
Tonight feels like we're afraid
Come to you
Eyes open
Like to see
You often
Totally
Totally
Tonight feels like we're a plane
