I won't have enough
time to write every story
on my treadmill heart.

talk into darkness
wake her with light in reply
all is not dead yet

Saturday, August 10, 2019


jangly fireworks dogs gone berserk
clashing like an ice breaker in sensory hell
i don’t mind on a hot summer night
when the wolf is gagging on red roses
and I don’t mind phil spector
creeping in his creepy way to the
center of my heart’s disclosures
not tonight

blending like a taste of paradise
wine in water glasses cherries in tin bowls
i’ve been blind and cherish that
still I want to run away from my home
cruising down the river revved up
crying all night and in the alligator light of day
keep on telling you
there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna leave you.
not tonight

i’ll keep on telling you keep on telling you keep on telling you.

cold and lonely in the deep dark night
bodies close and going all the way
he’ll slide in first with his holy cow shouts
STOP RIGHT THERE
no let me sleep on it
will you make me break my promise
will I forget my time with you and your waiting heaven
don’t you hear me crying
in the middle of nowhere that I can stay

i’ll keep on telling you keep on telling you keep on telling you.

i want you.
