THE QUAKE
Your bones do quake
when you’re drunk you make
conversations on
topics that your heart can’t shake
cigarettes pile up and
The whiskey in that bottle’s getting low
We won’t talk about this anymore
Take time to consider speaking words out loud
Take a chance on simply letting something out
Take time to consider
I know that sin
hiding words within
taking no time off
to gather right
no you just fly or fight
isolate and fail
You’ve built a box to hide your sorrows
Put a new lock on it tomorrow
Take time to consider speaking words out loud
Take a chance on simply letting something out
Take time to consider
The whiskey in that bottle’s getting low
We won’t talk about this tomorrow
Take time to consider speaking words out loud
Take a chance on simply letting something out
Take time to consider
Take time to consider
Take time to consider…

Waking Up

WAKING UP
Waking up sounds reach within
Stayed up late last night again
Half past midnight in my bed
Sleep so greedy, I can’t stand
Steal away from undertow
Whirring voices I don’t know
Cannot speak or understand
Grip is slipping through my hands
Why then would I want to
Spend just one more night with you
Fighting sleep up in a lonely room
When all I long to do
Is curl up in that corner low
Pull the trigger calm and slow
There’s no alibi I now
Wave as I exit the show

HELLO BABY
Hello baby
I can’t see you, but I know where you are
Warm and safe with a journey so far
When you move, it’s a comfort
It ain’t much, but I love it
It makes me smile
Hello, baby
I don’t know you will we get along
When will I learn you and will you sing my song
And when you cry can my breath
And my voice and my chest
Soothe your ears
When you roll against my fingertips
I know you feel me there too
How I long to feel your fingertips when they’re
Holding me close to you
Will you be scared?
Will you worry?
Will you revere something that’s worthy?
And, when you fall down, when will you rise up?
Will I be stronger than the hardest stuff?
I will

ANGEL ISLAND
Angel island.
Lit and longing.
Wanting all things to do with thee.
Simple. Silent.
Seeking. Finding.
Lost for nothing. For you. For me.
And so, we wait to seal our fate in one embrace or another.
We wait.
Single blessing.
Rain caressing.
Tied and twisted to do with thee.
Earth come quaking.
Silence breaking.
All or something. For you. For me.
And so, we wait to seal our fate in one embrace or another.
We wait.

Love Is a Bore

LOVE IS A BORE
Out in the sea
With a tailwind behind
Wandering free
With my sweet clementine
And you don’t have to love anymore
No, you don’t have to love anymore
At the same time
There’s a current before
Dragging the line
Pulling hard to old shores
Saying “all of your love is a bore”
Calling “all of your love is a bore”
Screaming “all of your love is a bore”
Dragging all of your love to the floor

UNAFRAID
There are moments in my mind which speak of self-protection
self-preservation
They tell me this and that
and sometimes that “this” is not “that”
Sometimes that “this” is a problem
and “that” should be worried about
Sometimes that “this” is too much
and “that” will overwhelm you
until you crumble
and remember that nothing ever works
They pretend not to be fear
Still, other moments in my mind tell me to love freely and abandon fear
They tell me to explore
and spend time
and pay attention to the moment
in the moment
They tell me that I know how to take care of myself
They say “of course there is still fear, but it doesn’t have to be scary”
They tell me to hold no fear
for I am the god of my self
and that god is love
These are the moments which make me unafraid of anything

WEATHERED FORMS
Smoke and…smoke and grace
Breathe in outside space
Count and slow the pace
Relive my last place
And the storms wail upon the beaches
She warns, “you're failing over me now, babe”
There's no tellin’ how much more
Weathered these forms take
There's no end of days
Endings are so damn gray
In the middle stay awake
Begin where you lay
And the storms wail upon the beaches
She warns, “you're failing over me now, babe”
There's no tellin’ how much more
Weathered these forms
Weathered these forms
