Softly shifting silver sands,
Solid to liquid,
Liquid to gas.

I just felt, if you never left,
None of that comes to pass.

Cocky glibness, middle class,
Christmas to windows,
Windows to glass.

I just sat aside, never asking,
What do you say to the fairer sex?

You're everything I've ever dreamt?
Well, I find there's just none left, 
Nothing but adventures, 
And acceptance tests. 

Coffee drinking, ginger snaps,
Trauma to forgiveness,
Forgiveness until collapse.

You're everything I ever dreamt,
I'd do anything to bring you back,
Like an eye that stares ahead,
Tears roll down my face again.

I'll never be the things I lack,
I'll never change, skin like that,
Only grows with age.

Salt to water,
Water evaporates.

I never wanted in your crowd of clowns,
White facing, red around the mouth.
Red upon the head,
Laughed at by the town.

It's either powder now, or power down.
Also guys to date,
Hands to guide her down,
Lyrics about Rape, and cries fowl.

I never wanted to be a mouthpiece,
Or spit on by a coward.
Cheered on by the crowd,
Toward a violent outcome. 

Injection of faith, 
Truth, silent about H, 
Without the vowel sounds,
Expressing your rage.

I never wanted to look the same,
Jacked up retard dancing on stage,
Also guys to shame,
Amelia Earheart is on the way.

To the final, pathetic, vocal squeal:
Drum trials, pathos in guitar steel,
Reference, for the crowd to cheer.

What is gone, but was never there?
What is a woman? Complacent?
Like God, you take a bucket,
Drown her in rainwater, 
It remains clear. 

Her body is still good for fucking. 
His money is still good for fucking, 
Her body is still good for fucking,
Nothing.

Ink then vinyl, out into the real,
Drum trial, pathos to the feeling,
Defence for the crowd that cheers.

What is gone, but was never there?
Magic, you chose a career,
Not a life path.

Defend that! 

Missives you can't recite back,
Missiles, like knives to the back,
Missing like writing upon a staff. 

Music was a mistake in the end,
Mythic, like an axe upon a head,
Without your controller in hand,
What is gone, but was never there?

I see yellow, blue in disbelief.
Spiritual sterility, misdeeds,
Financial instability, tricks,
Affinity for weed.

Advocate for your beliefs,
Maybe, about that, you should sing,
Not wordsmiths, suicidal tendencies,
And bowing, 
Hands and head about the strings.

Red is the color of blood,
Red is the brickwork at home,
Red is the byproduct of cones,
Red is the color of love,
Cleft lips, crushed bugs,
Insides of lungs.

Scry from that what you like,
But Toronto has a darkness, 
That should be red and white.

Red, race runner.
Race winner,
Hair, face makeup,
Gray silver.

A sliver of hope, please,
The world cometh. 

Great singers, they say,
Have a way with words,
Do they listen to yours?

When they read mine,
I expose their inside. 

Cinnamon rolls,
She eyes the icing,
When she listens to me, 
Her head is cocked back, 
As if she died.

She says,  
Cinnamon rolls are fine, 
Beige aside.

Change, paper kites, 
Beyond lime green basement lights,
Confirmation of rights.

Like what a child encased in white, 
Could possibly look like? 
Red, less waste of time.

Rose gold chrome horns,
Like cardboard clothes, 
Cold, associates sorrow, 
Unworn, uneven tomorrow. 
So bow your head forward,
Lift yourself up, divide me whole. 

I stand naked before you, 
Like I play with hands both,
Like I tap, dance, as a show,
I do for all you know, I suppose.

Upon her form, both hands,
Avacado toast, buttery bread,
Guitar solo overtop the prose,
Alcohol in her mouth, floor, 
Softcore porn, popcorn snow, 
Relationships in rondo form.

I just wish I knew something more.

Despite the evocation,
Reduction, reprisal,
Draw a circle,
Around my face, eyes, nose. 
Triangle, circles, about my square, 
Protection from inside my head.

I've seen males drag knuckles, 
on their floor, faith and culture.
Their minds warped, images of war,
For what did they fight?
Rights, to remove the guy ropes, 
Scrape pavement with claws at night.

Tools of change,
Use of space,
Use of names,
True and sage.

Despite the evocation,
Things change.

Diana wrote little of cages,
Ropes below.

Blue, vampire bat,
I feel like that at times,
Lies about my fangs,
Silver metallic,
Azul and cyan,
Tired, of sky high tricks.

I guess that's why I am,
Grown men cry, surely,
But then grown men die,
Weapons about their side.

Head held high, my friend,
Surely, we will meet again,
No shame in dying to a man.

Right?
Azul and cyan,
In sake of blue, give me white.
Am I doomed, to be a beast?
Who bites?

Well, then why alongside them,
Question the carmine reds?
All I want is life, beyond that,
Perhaps azul and cyan.

What changes with age?
Cambridge, Yale, Navy.
But today it rained,
So blue wins the day.

Head nod, hand wave.

Stop, playing games, take aim,
Place weights upon my grave,
Nothing will change my fate.

Head nod, hand wave.

What changes with age?
Space, royals and babies,
Softness of brains,
What is mundane?

The third day on the front page,
Shame, shame, shame, 
Change, change, change.

Wait, wait wait,
But away they sailed,
So blue wins the day.

Head nod, hand wave.

Desert sun, august morning,
Sky, a butterscotch orange.

Amongst all things, concerns:
For paintings are ownership...
Hopefully drawings disappear,
Wrap your body in animal skin.

Put a brush to your wrist,
Go ahead, spill,
Color all over...
Hopefully canvas appears.

Yellow, what say of the sea?
Hardcore, double crossing, frog, 
Croaking of dark forces and fear.
An unarmed soldier, war over,
Still fighting with the hayseeds.

Oh,
Is this why blue pervades me?

All things amongst me here,
Sidewalks get ownership,
You pay, then worship on them.
All language, being borrowed,
Gives power to some lawyer.

Oh,
Is this why blue pervades me?
Yellow, what have you made me?

though it has been so long, i have not forgotten you. 
i have searched for you among the crowded shelves of bookshops, the cobbled displays of libraries, the take-one-leave-one boxes scattered through town. 
i have dug deep in my jacket pockets for the notes and coins needed to take you home with me.
i have cradled you close to me underneath my coat while i am waiting for the 6:58 bus.
i have found you in tulip bulbs peeking above the soul for the sun, late august thunderstorms that pelted our new apartment, the january wind that brings ice and chapped hands.

you have made sure your spine stands straighter when i roam through each aisle, saturated and dewey with books.
you have pushed the dimes and nickels into my grasping fingers so that we may spend our time together that much quicker.
you have squeezed me hard as we step off the bus at 7:34.
you have flung yourself through the sky and earth to find me in the smallest of stolen moments. you kiss my hands and my head and flush them rosy with emotion. 
you have not forgotten me either, it seems.

They say, love is fair,
But then, what for free?
Birds and bees, they explain,
Saying mostly ends,
Giving little means.
A friend, dear, a branch, tree.
When they speak they talk of weight,
Everything they feel.

Then they say, live laissez-faire,
Paint the walls of red and greens,
They hope you speak their language.
Incentives and dreams, hopes of things.
But what divides boxes and squares,
Fishes and streams, them and me?
Is it a line or the right to be?

Speak freely, breathe freely,
Easy, people say it should be,
From a mouth that releases,
Full of pleased flesh and teeth.
But if they had one wish left, 
It would be for me to never be.

Well, that's sweet.

But I know what that means, 
Go ahead, feel your feelings.
Just know, there is no you and me.

Young men see visions, Old men have dreams,
His mind was troubled and he could not sleep.

Body smeared in honey,
Head to feet, conceit,
Meant to be supreme,
Yet not even complete.
The sea, is free, comparably,
Considering the moon, destiny.
When you speak, Where you sleep,
To others, it matters only where you scream.
Meant to be, it's a funny thing,
Next movie I hope you're next to me.

Wild marjoram, fine novelists,
Five dollar words, trite violins,
Telling simple lies, promises.
Yet when I saw the world,
My heart stopped again, 
Eyes on a third of my providence.

Sickle swing into the grass, 
Thinking of pictures, gifts,
Hoping they still persist,
Hopes for more than past.
Head in the clouds, riddles,
Under his cap, a fickle thing.

Sickle swing the earth and drag,
He touches her breasts and legs,
Permitting his heart fleeting
To consider something risqué.

Head full of ideas, webs, spiders.
When you see the light fled from,
Like paycheques full of diamonds,
Like lions, saying their cash is final,
Is being right worth all the fighting?

Met the right girl, at the wrong time,
Never mind huh? Move on in life?
Plagues for the day,
Pestilence for the nights.

You are the lion, You are the tiger,
You are the decider, designer,
Provider of delightful things,
Fragrance of oil and spices, 
Sweeter than any type of trees.

One last deal, a man's feet,
Glass sharp as steel, 
Half free, half demand,
Protect land from the sea.

Footing, Looking up,
Good enough, discuss,
Bullshit words, wooden result.
All I can see is the head:
Bad feeling in the bed,
If only I could fold my hands, 
Lean, sleep and dream.
The chaos I would see.

A horn right where the heart is,
A horn is where we started,
Beasts of a Godhead, snort,
What else would they know?

Seven heads, Seven hills, a woman sits,
Fearing what we couldn't fix is still amiss,
On top of the hill, one digests the hits,
The house my father built is sticks.

This calls for a mind with wisdom,
Or A horn right where the heart is.
For economics, For a little longer,
For when they finally got it,
The realization, it was violent.

Then floods, then nothing.

No foundation to stand on,
I must found myself, found my call,
But the houses my father built are gone.

Beauty, all its mystery,
Maybe this is all a dream,
Belief instinctively,
Anger, or misery,
Or is it grief within me?

Imagine living, symptom-free,
Imagine, breathing with relief,
Instead coughing and wheezing,
Sleeping with vivid dreams,
While sleeping in the street.

A body smeared with honey,
Head to feet, conceit,
Declared supreme,
Yet not even complete.
