INTO INSINCERE



The sun's a furious coffee stain, condescending on my fuzzy frown. Again, again.
Puts a fiendish hex upon me, may your wishing fountain pennies drown. Again, again.
Fall from your fear, swim through your tears. Fall from your fear, into insincere.
My confidence a burning bookmark, dissolving into ash between the page. That way, that way.
Clogging up the margin gutters, combining with the hues into old age. That way, that way.
Fall from your fear, swimming through tears. Soaking up beer, into insincere.
Cemetery dandelions, resurrect the infectious brilliance. Of you, of you.
Sentimenting through the pasture, spreading with nostalgic resilience. Of you, of you.
Swim through your tears, as they disappear. Fall into your fears, out of insincere.

A WOLF, A GUN

Image
In your dream, your hair is dancing, off-key tributes twine, entrancing The crackling hum of waves of light, coarsing through your veins like snakebite Children shivering like a paused VHS, angry furniture fills the room with stress Pummel problems we can't diagnose, morse code clocking ticks out threatening odes Singing Ooh, I'm a wolf, I am a gun in your home There was a time there was a God who hung his world on your facade Fingers thrumming ribs like strings, scripture spread from spine like wings Then the words burned off the page, flames warping sound in crackled rage A smoking book, a mumbled moral, filled with pseudo-sense in quarrel Screaming Ooh, I'm a wolf, I am a gun in your home Shadow babble, TV tongue, spirit throttled, left unsung Harps of doubt are fully strung, breath of cynic spins in lung The facade world now gone unhung, Sunday bells all mute, unrung But inspiration's found among dreams and colors of the young Singing Ooh, I'm a wolf, I am a

THE MACULATE CONCESSION

Image
  How does it feel to be dealt a hand full of sardines and rusty nails?  Pinch yourself you might find that you hate the way you feel.  Frosted shoulder shoves your teeth into crooked interruption. Loop the handshake in reverse til we forget our introduction. Leaves falling like elevators, confetti the political desanguination. Your mouth is spitting bitter snow but everybody's changed the station. Scrape off the tears of rage and cultivate a garden of attrition. Feed the beast of kindness and pray it don't die of malnutrition. You think when the dust settles you'll ascend to the upper crust. But when all is dotted and crossed you'll only be left with dust. Elevator filled with fallen leaves, crisply blanket the fallow field. Throwing punches yards from the mark, it doesn't matter if you yield.

ROOFBIRDS

Roofbirds could fly us away, instead they roost They demean the destitution that they produced They're grooming their grubby feathers so handsome We're trapped behind bars in their national ransom Roofbirds you roll us like dice in your game The whole world is burning but you side with the flames We all yearn to soar to the peaks in this town But we decay in the drought of your trickle down We'll rise above your prickly fence Our gift to make your present tense Re-dictionary the world to make sense Roofbirds presume to be wholly devout Their orders come straight from the puppet's mouth No true deity penetrates your radar Your hijacked horizon will blind you with stars We'll rise above your prickly fence Our gift to make your present tense Re-dictionary the world to make sense You scratchy uncles better flee This blue wave from the rising sea Wash out your stains so everyone can be free
