Terrasol
Beets are bleeding up my hands
Casserole
Decorate the contraband
And all I want to do today
Is sit until I fade away
But rapidly, the joke's on me:
I fade so easily
But if I could walk
If I could run
Could I go fast enough
To banish the moon
Soak up the sun
Tether the equinox?
Hold the heavens parted for the rays
Ocean blue of summer days
Dandelion grins
Scattered in the wind
Crickets synchronized
Bluffing on their body size
Turning out of phase
And I sink into an ocean blue malaise
Aperol
Sticking up the kitchen tiles
Cortisol
Waking up our inner child
And all I want to do tonight
Is dance until I catch the light
But when the room is out of room
I pop like a balloon
But if I could walk
If I could run
Could I go fast enough
To banish the moon
Soak up the sun
Tether the equinox?
Hold the heavens parted for the rays
Ocean blue of summer days
Dandelion grins
Scattered in the wind
Crickets synchronized
Bluffing on their body size
Turning out of phase
And I sink into an ocean blue malaise.

Down

Dirty windows strain the light
On the coffee-covered rug
Thirty years of sighing nights
Couldn’t get the rust to run
Lurching at the door
An electrostatic score
Getting louder than before
When I try to compromise
I got daggers in my eyes
And the bile starts to rise
Down, down the sewer’s flowing
Down, down the ship is going
Down through the soil and through the rock
The deep water shoal’s a diving dock
For an iron crown
Strata dust of skin and crumbs
Lay like beaches on the sill
Tides will come and tides will go
But the waters never will
Searching through the fog
For a piece of my old god
Who could bear the lightning rod
And separate the storm
From the gold that keeps me warm
Til the scratching of the morn'
Down, down the sewer’s flowing
Down, down the ship is going
Down through the soil and through the rock
The deep water shoal’s a diving dock
For an iron crown
Meditate on all I have to say
I can trace the patterns on the way
Down
Down through the soil and through the rock
The deep water shoal’s a diving dock
For an iron crown

Gold Teeth

I’m memorizing all the pointed codes
You’re mesmerizing all the eager souls
Your gold teeth poetry
Cashing in on their deceased
And cold read zealotry
Bigger than what I believe
'Cause lover
The yeti’s always catching up
Your love is always testing us
How could you take
A piece of someone else's wedding cake
And call it communion?
It's your land deed jealousy
Dropping from the family tree
My blood-thinned crinoline
Is not enough for you to win
'Cause lover
The yeti’s always catching up
Your love is always testing us
The yeti’s always catching up
Your love is always testing us
I grasp at the linens we stained with your greed
I mash and I package them into a seed
Brighter than your gold teeth
Deeper than your cold read
Hotter than your jealousy
And better when I'm gone.
