- Sara
broad spirit comes back along the way
comes to me red, black with a lot to say
she sit my tail down
pull the wishbone wide
she ream my head out along the way
she dig my hole, then, she toss me in
her dirt rain/reign dark down my fallin' skin
- easy to be around
i was in the coal mine picking up diamonds
that the miners had left behind, behind, behind
and i admired their cold shine
simple & bright
and i pocketed many in the cavernous night
clear, when held up to the light
you belong to no one
- God Made It Rain
god made it rain so i'd run to the bus stop
god knew otherwise i'd be late
i grab my umbrella torn from a pawn shop
drop all my keys down a grate but i have to let go and keep running
i choke on my cough drop
neighbor's dog's launching itself at the gate
barking tossing itself like a ship onto rocks
a creature that will not resign to its fate
- Grandma Say
i bake in haste
eggshell in ev’ry cake i make
now what would your grandma say?
if she saw you cookin’ that way?
turn the heat way down
and open that door ‘fore the cakes go brown
-eyed suzies nod and sway–
they see you cookin’ that way, hey
- i'm yr here-i-am
First my fate was to be lied to,
'Cause I liked it, and I lied too.
Then my fate was on it's Round Two.
Out of two rounds, it stopped--
said, "Here I am. Here I am."
Come embrace me, I'm your long lost.
I'm your comeback,
- Leave Me Alone

- Love Me If Ye Do
man friends & woman friends & dog friends & plant friends
love me if ye do
as i make love to you
old friends & new friends & children friends & killer friends
love me if ye do
as i make love to you
- Lucifer
Lucifer told me that i should go easy
That i should lay back and let slack water take me
I said leave me Lucy your stories are juicy
For some dried out mind but that mind is not mine
I used be uprooted but now i am fruited
With free flowing nectar thats suiting me better
So Lucifer left me alone for the day to
Continue my duties of love and of play
- My Teacher Died
oh since my teacher died
i am a student now
of whom i cannot tell
of what i cannot tell...
i read his books for years
i've gone all through them
how i wanted one last fix
- Perigee Moon
thinking of you
perigee moon
hangs over me
over the road
so ripe and full
leading me on
dusk until dawn
perigee moon
- Petite Roses
Petite roses bend
To sniff at my ankles
Pink and red roses lining the path
The flagstone path that leads to nowhere
To nowhere decided for now
And the dog runs up
With a heart in its mouth
- Pray Headaches Away
when i was a kid
i used to pray headaches away
layed awhile on the bed
i did
- Reveller
I ain't sure that i ain't been a reveller before
cos' when i sway i sway like i know how
i danced myself into the middle of the road
but something else removing me now
something else gone up in my head
something else directing my feet
something else caressing me now
taking me out neck is so sweet
- The Turnaround Road
Cars, three-point turns make pentagrams in the dirt
At the end of the road where I sit in the morning
The weeks have been hazy but something is changing
I watched the sun convince the weakest cloud to let it through
It said "I would have gone crooked but for you"
There's a sticky orange vine here
And it grows over everything
