submarinian
the tide is pulling you under
submarinian
whoever says sweet dreams
knows it's a rare thing
you tried to remember
but you forgot
how your drinking was elephantine
how you stumbled into rosemary
and tied every finger with string
you built your house with boards
and papered the walls
asleep on a floor of embers
insensible guide
you arise enflamed
unashamed and unnamed
and the night is pulling you over
you swim out with abandon
without any weight
in the morning you're sore
for something you've lost
whoever says cheers
knows it's a brief affair
you can't resist
the tide is pulling you under

oyster
two steps from the oyster
one step from the pearl
if you were pining for gold
I'm not what you're after
throw me back
to the shore
it was great around the bay
the way you lead me in
it was quite an outlet
I was swallowed
by your flood
you and your horizons
me here on the shore
if I didn't measure up
it's been no disaster
I wouldn't fret
going green around the gill
and grey around the eyes
and what's stranger still
even though I'm breathless
I feel so alive

ipso facto
there's no light at the window
nobody at the door to let me in
I know you would have opened up
in hindsight
a warm wind was rushing past my ears
and there I was
opening small wounds
sealed off years ago
a light rain nurses the soil
there are cracks on the pavement
and other signs of structure collapsing
and opening
I knew you
a heavy dew annoints us
I'm sorry to be opening small wounds this way
a light rain nurses the soil
you're at the window I'm at the door
and there's no one to let us in
on insights, hindsights
ipso facto

metaphysical hook
it's been easy for me
it's been hard for you
we'll need some thing to hang it on
would a metaphysical hook do?
you took it from the earth and the mud
you took it away transfused with blood
we live and learn we live and learn
we'll need something
would a metaphysical hook do?
would the the way we look do?
would a lead book do?
you've been easy to please
i've been hard I know
we'll need something I know
would a metaphysical hook do?
would the way we look do?
would a lead book do??
would the wrong right hand do?

night's mutterings

night's mutterings
in the frequencies
of night's mutterings
a signal returns
forgotten, observed
forgotten observed
you're at the hands
of a merciless director
and your part can't be learned
heroic, and the reverse
heroic, and the reverse
paper fragile thinness
quivering over the eyes
is a thin disdguise
for incessant
mpromptu performances
carried out by monkies
estatic, in the static
estatic, in the static
insistently, continuing
there's something compulsive
in checking
in checking
paper fragile thinness
quivering over the eyes
is a thin disguise
for the twin that died
your father's ties
and your mother's buttons
your brother's suffering
a love denied
you're flying downstairs
running too slow
a house that you know
a track where you've been
a love denied

tortoise and the hare

tortoise and the hare
streets are wet
each car a hush-a-bye
it's good to hear the rain
on the roof
and the gutter
night falls then breaks
then mends it's way
a stitch tn time
let's kiss the hem
finders keepers weep
for what they cannot have
the way they make ends meet
is from a thread
it's coming undone
ready steady
you know the drill
on your mark
i'm out
beggars can't be choosers
it simply will not do
the way they find their feet
is through the holes
in their shoes
time-keepers keep watch
and listen for the gun
you win by a hairs breadth
and lose the tortoise shell

buffalo

buffalo
cast, propelled and floundering
in every step
give me a home where the buffalo roam
with an underlying emptiness
in every step
the deer and the antelope
both went separate ways
distant melancholy baby is this the world?
where seldom is heard an encouraging word
give me a home where the sea's going to crash around my gate
give me your hand there's a low front
coming in
cast propelled and floundering
in every thought
give me a home where a mind's free to roam
with an underlying aimlessnesss
in every thought
the horns on the antelope
are both growing quite straight
