CALGARY

***************
Don’t you cherish me to sleep
Never keep your eyelids clipped
Hold me for the pops and clicks
I was only for the father’s crib
Hair, old, long along
Your neck onto your shoulder blades
Always keep that message taped
Cross your breasts you won’t erase
I was only for your very space
Hip, under nothing
Propped up by your other one, face ‘way from the sun
Just have to keep a dialogue
Teach our bodies: haunt the cause
I was only trying to spell a loss
Joy, it’s all founded
Pincher with the skin inside
You pinned me with your black sphere eyes
You know that all the rope’s untied
I was only for to die beside
So it?s storming on the lake
Little waves our bodies break
There’s a fire going out,
But there’s really nothing to the south
Swollen orange and light let through
Your one piece swimmer stuck to you
Sold, I’m Ever
Open ears and open eyes
Wake up to your starboard bride
Who goes in and then stays inside
Oh the demons come, they can subside
THE WOLVES (ACT I AND II)
***************
Someday my pain
Someday my pain will mark you
Harness your blame
Harness your blame, walk through
With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I’ll call you
Send it farther on
Solace my game
Solace my game, it stars you
Swing wide your crane
Swing wide your crane and run me through
And the story’s all over
In the morning, I’ll call you
Can’t you find a clue
When your eyes are all painted Sinatra blue
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
Don’t bother me
(Don’t bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don’t bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don’t bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don’t bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don’t bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don’t bother me)
What might have been lost
(Don’t bother me)
What might have been lost
What might have been lost
Ah, ah
Someday my pain
Someday my pain, my pain
Someday my pain
Someday my pain
BLINDSIDED
***************
Back down, down to the downtown
Down to the lockdown…
Boards, nails lie around
I crouch like a crow
Contrast in the snow
For the agony I’d rather know
‘Cause BLINDED
I am blindsided
Peek in
Into the peer in
I’m not really like this
I’m probably plightless
I come through the window
I’m crippled and slow
For the agony I’d rather know
‘Cause BLINDED
I am blindsided
Would you really rush out?
Would you really rush out?
Would you really rush out for me now?
Would you really rush out
Would you really rush out for me now?
Would you really rush out for me now?
Would you really rush out for me now?
Would you really rush out
For me now?
Ooh, for me now
Ooh, for me now
Ooh, for me now
Taut line
Down to the shoreline
The end of a blood line
The moon is a cold light
There’s a pull to the flow
My feet melt the snow
For the irony I’d rather know
‘Cause blindsided
I was blindsided
Blinded
I was blindsided
Blinded
I was blindsided
FLUME
***************
I am my mother’s only one
It’s enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she’s the moon
I am my mother on the wall
With us all
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing’s more
Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leery loons
Leaving rope burns, reddish ruse
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she’s the moon
WISCONSIN
***************
You ride in the park and you’re peeking
Piss pools in your seat
She’s standing inside but you surely repeat
Oh God don’t leave me here
I will freeze till the end
Love is loves reprieve
Winter is coming and you’re stacking
All your summer sheets
Now when the wind blows you cover your
And our tool shed where you trade in your blues
Love is loves sad news
That was Wisconsin that was yesterday
Now I have nothing that I can keep
Cause every place I go I take another place with me
Love is loves mystique
You’re up on the bar and your shaking
With every grimy word
Who will love
What’s love when you’ve hurt
Wherever is your scene the snow kissed the curb
Love is loves return
That was Wisconsin that was yesterday
Now I have nothing that I can keep
Cause every place I go I take another place with me
Love is loves critique
WASH.

Climb
is all we know
when thaw
is not below us
no, can’t grow up
in that iron ground
Claire, all too sore for sound
bet
is hardly shown
scraped
across the foam
like they stole it
and oh, how they hold it
Claire, we nearly forfeit
I… I’m growing like the quickening hues
I… I’m telling darkness from lines on you
over havens fora full and swollen morass, young habitat!
all been living alone, where the ice snap and the hold clast are known
home
we’re savage high
come
we finally cry
oh and we don it
because it’s right
Claire, I was too sore for sight
I… we’re sewing up through the latchet greens
I… un-peel keenness, honey, bean for bean
same white pillar tone as with the bone street sand is thrown where she stashed us at
all been living alone, where the cracks at in the low part of the stoning
