  • If Only I 
    
YOU MUST CONFRONT

you must confront
    your life
which is sneaking up
   on you
like a rapt coiled
    serpent

snail-slime

you must confront
           the inevitable
                 eventually
Bloody Bones has got you!

    WELCOME TO THE AMERICAN NIGHT

Welcome to the American Night
where dogs bite
to find the voice
     the face the fate the fame
to be tamed
    by the Night
in a quiet soft luxuriant
                     car
Hitchhikers line the Great Highway

    Go to the top 

    TO BE ALONE

  To be alone
& watch the dawn
  It could create
   a silly song
About a girl
  I used to know

She was the star
  of the lost side show

She wasn't me
She wasn't you
Believe you me
Knew what to do

& say to a man on
the end of his tether
"Hey, fine handsome
Man, there'll be a change 
in the weather"

So what am I 
Supposed to do
Just sit alone
& chew my shoe
I need a love
No more than she
& yet no less
& no regrets

If you can fill me in
on my Telephone
I'd be a sadder, 
wiser son of a gun

I'll just this
about all that
I was the mouse
who caught the cat

I don't intend 
To give you no points
of view

I just mean to tell
You--I'm alone

    Go to the top 

    IF ONLY I

If only I 
      could feel
The sound
      of the sparrows
& feel childhood
      pulling me
            back again

If only I could feel
      me pulling back
            again
& feel embraced
      by reality
            again
I would die
      Gladly die
