ok maybe I did once
but come on
throw me some bones

Morning in Heaven, Nighttime in Hell-Turned-Heaven

After I vomited that disease
I really did feel much lighter
Who would've known
Those toxins weighed so much

Me O'Mine

Hah!
I'll never censor myself for anyone
And I'm shaking because of my calm
I'm holding that power that I have now
And I know that I'm lean and strong
And I'll never go down

It's kind of a stranger
But still very familiar
That the biggest drop ever
The strongest hardest one ever
Shut that dirty dog cave door for good

But don't worry baby
I just called to say thank you

Beautiful and Bread

In her moment she was this perfect human.
Crying. But honestly crying.
And yelping when she was forgetting to breathe.
And her dripping wet lips
Were sticky wet lips
And I thought of a broken fawn
When she trembled.
And  she carried herself very wilted.
Because her petals were too heavy with ache.

I really like yours too
And I think you'll always make me smile
Or at least not have so many nightmares

Northern Exposure

I remember when he flipped me in bed
And those sheets that were always those sheets
But when I looked up at him, to find his brown eyes
I thought I saw you in his tooth
His teeth were your teeth, but were new
His teeth were those teeth, were your teeth, but new

And it struck me that somehow,
All their new teeth will have one
Every man will bite once with that tooth

But I'm over that haunt taking over my kisses
I've stopped asking for it to come haunting
I need to forget how to let me haunt me
It's heartbreaking what one tooth can do

Cube in the Desert (revised)

Arid and empty. And the sand was shifting and drifting. There were no footprints-just heatwaves. On our faces and our chests. It never ended and our eyes cried. The sand stung and sung and yelled. And so we walked. No footprints but we walked. To our left the sun, to our right the cube. Mean cube. Doom cube. Walk towards the cube we did. I'm not sure if we wanted to, but we did. And as we walked towards it, we held our ladder above our heads. Proudly and sternly. It was long- 6 feet. And broken. We placed the ladder on the cube and said a prayer and climbed. Once we climbed, we were inside. But so was the horse. Our horse. Silky and tight. Not mean, but not frightened. Beautiful, really, and I know he is. But I didn't want to go near him, you know. I didn't want to feel him. He hid us from the sun. But I'm not sure I wanted that.
