FOR EMMA, FOREVER AGO

SKINNY LOVE

FLUME

Come on skinny love just last the year

Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed
veneer

I am my mother's only one

It's enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know
Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she's the moon
I am my mother on the wall
With us all
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing's more
Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leery loons
Leaving rope burns, reddish ruse

LUMP SUM
Sold my cold knot, a heavy stone
Sold my red horse for a venture home
To vanish on the bow
Settling slow
Fit it all, fit it in the doldrums
So the story goes
Color the era
Film it, it's historical, my
My mile could not
Pump the plumb
In my arbor till my ardor trumped
Every inner inertia lump sum
All at once
Rushing from the sub pump
So the story goes
Balance we won't know
We will see when it gets warm

I tell my love to wreck it all

Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall
And I told you to be patient
And told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines
Come on skinny love what happened
here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split
And I told you to be patient
And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind
And now all your love is wasted?
And then who the hell was I?
And now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines
Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
THE WOLVES (ACT I AND II)
Someday my pain, someday my pain
Will mark you
Harness your blame, harness your

blame
And walk through
With the wild wolves around you
In the morning, I'll call you
Send it farther on

Would you really rush out?

Would you really rush out for me now?
Would you really rush out for me now?
Would you really rush out for me now?
Would you really rush out for me now?
Ooh, for me now, ooh, for me now

Solace my game, solace my game

It stars you
Swing wide your crane, swing wide your
crane
And let it through

Taut line
Down to the shoreline
The end of a blood line
The moon is a cold light

And the story's all over you

In the morning I'll call you
Can't you find a clue when your eyes
are all painted Sinatra blue

There's a pull to the flow

My feet melt the snow
For the irony, I'd rather know
'Cause blinded, I was blindsided

BLINDSIDED

Blinded, I was blindsided

'Cause blinded, I was blindsided

Bike down
Down to the downtown
Down to the lock down
Boards, nails lie around
I crouch like a crow
Contrasting the snow
For the agony, I'd rather know
'Cause blinded, I am blindsided
Peek in
Into the peer in
I'm not really like this
Probably plightless
How come the window
I'm crippled and slow
For the agony, I'd rather know
'Cause blinded, I am blindsided
Would you really rush out?
Would you really rush out?
Would you really rush out for me now?

CREATURE FEAR
I was full by your count
I was lost but your fool
Was a long visit wrong?
Say, you are the only
So many foreign worlds
So relatively fucked
So ready for us, so ready for us
The creature fear
I was teased by your blouse
Spit out by your mouth
I was loud by your low
Seminary soul
Tear on, tail on
Take all on the wind on
The soft bloody nose
Sign another floor
So many territories
Ready to reform

Don't let it form us, don't let it form us

The creature fear
So did he foil his own?
Is he ready to reform?
So many Torahs, so many for us
The creature fear

FOR EMMA
So apropos, saw death on a sunny
snow
For every life, forgo the parable
Seek the light, my knees are cold
Running home, running home
Running home, running home
Go find another lover to bring a, to string
along
For all your lies, you're still very lovable
I toured the land, so many foreign roads
For Emma
Forever ago
RE: STACKS
This my excavation, today is Kumran
Everything that happens is from now on
This is pouring rain
This is paralyzed
I keep throwing it down two hundred at a
time
It's hard to find it when you knew it
When your money's gone
And you're drunk as hell
On your back with your racks as the
stacks your load
In the back the racks and the stacks are
your load
In the back with your racks and you're
unstacking your load

I've been twisting to the sun, I needed to

replace
And the fountain in the front yard is
rusted out
All my love was down
In a frozen ground
There's a black crow sitting across from
me
And his wiry legs are crossed
And he's dangling my keys, he even
fakes a toss
Whatever could it be
That has brought me to this loss?
On your back with your racks as the
stacks your load
In the back the racks and the stacks are
your load
In the back with your racks and you're
unstacking your load
This is not the sound of a new man or a
crispy realization
It's the sound of the unlocking and the
lift away
Your love will be
Safe with me
