1.
waiting for words to come that hold and carry all the weight all the depth of my affection I resign lately to abandon language there are none our vocabulary offers you are you are all I’ve ever wanted more than boyhood dreams could have expected I’d wait a great many more lifetimes over again and writing the same ending would become so much the same that I’d forget do you fear the same things I do conversations echoing through empty hallways’ authorless speech no familiar hand within reach know that I am as scared as you of the thought of losing you can’t say what I’d do
2.
Evelyn our sun has set and turned me into colorless regret Evelyn I’m seeing shine the razor you’ve held underneath your tongue isn’t it a dying wish the hope that what was promised will still be wire in the ribbon of the folded perfect corners of your little lips black as the night emptiness speaks silence the black speaks silence to me of everything lost in the wake Evelyn stay you are the life raft you are my faith a fragile thing night over waves Evelyn stay
3.
Dorothy everything’s fine sister of mine waste no more effort casting doubt in heavy handfuls along the fault lines of your worn enduring heart near or apart your blood remembers sanctuary of sleep under the sheets in soft retreat movie reels in our minds we press rewind the soundtrack billows through our fragile fortress made of bedding of books and pillows Dorothy did you forget the beauty and strength of our lone mother no man will ever be necessary to make you happy you are all that you need when will you see your own beauty

Lunar Talks 03:31
thrown away in the savage and terrible wild the labyrinthine corridors of daydream’s ruins an error in time bears a cruel seed engines of our renewal your methods are vile turning over in deathless time the machinery of our God’s eye will it ever see disappear from me and I will disappear too from you waiting in oceans of nightmare’s water a medicine blue in the light of our moon our heart beating through clouded ribcage skies into parsonage windows where four hands commit two hearts to the night unclean offerings thrown away in the savage and terrible wild the labyrinthine corridors of daydream’s ruins an error in time bears a cruel seed
6.
black endless highway dotted with white wasted and fearless passenger side the longest shadows reach out and fall the eyelashes of suburban sprawl hold my gaze city of light promise me much more restlessness memorialized all I’ve waited for deliver me from the light shed by factory rafters’ halogen sky will we wait while our lives pass by holding on with our eyes closed tight what a long and lonely time I spent in quiet slow death
7.
hallelujah I came to Wednesday service sing to me tonight there’s a burning in my breast burning down the building daddy does his best heavenly release jealously the hymnals fly into the streets candle in my hand adolescent fingers dancing in the wax hallelujah I am bathed in tender madness brought up in the light your believer waits quiet little sleeper till the fever breaks hours in their sight faces in the wood grain speak to me tonight running down his cheek tears of endless anguish things he cannot speak and if God was really there listening to that man’s prayer I’m ashamed of all the faith I had in Him prayers on our lips following the lines rigid and unbroken keeping us in time keeping us awake harbinger of light instrument of Heaven carry us away sing to me sing to me of love

The Rabbit 05:28
2CI running through my warm 22 year old veins demons in the tree line flying by on highway six four 95 miles an hour my mind unwinding dissolves held inside the torpedoing frame of Shannon’s blue Saab
