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

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.
