Tangerine
02:33
|

and loving you was so natural
with winter dripping down outside your window
we play games that i don't know
i always think of you fondly
in a heather t-shirt
green skirt
i feel a bit lonely without you washed in the tv glow
i see you spinning your head around
sparrowhawk perch on the headboard
be good,
sing a song you know
we'll ward off all of the misery
let the candle burn at the altar
you never have to sleep alone
i know that love is a tangerine that i want to peel so slow

Paris Green Blues
03:06

i'd never seen a sight so pretty 'til
the fog rolled up the ramparts
and settled through
the roads that led the vanguard
in our headlamp view
the fire over Akureyri —
it left my eyes alight in its crimson hues
from spark the world ignites in the paris green blues
watch molten gold spill down the river
it cascades along the face and her shoulders too
soft slope to meet the place where our jaws undo
i'll always find you in the city
in the way my fingers look to trace a map of you
i draw a quiet curve beneath the paris green blues

Little Shade
02:25
|

never thought it'd come to this
do you know what you're living for?
my head is on the floor, and
i feel a little shade crawling underneath it,
like a half moon
a couple weeks too soon
never thought it'd come to this
i fuck with mathematics!
you finally found your buried chest of gold,
and i think you might be falling in
i'm drunk off my ass,
we just packed a bowl,
and i think i might be falling in too
never thought it'd come to this
i am one with listlessness
choke it down, or spit it out, or don't
whatever
we'll get a little loosey with our souls together

Underbite Eyes
03:59
|

dance about the kitchen
have you ever been in resonance with a violin
bowing waves between your temples?
from the bedrooms of our neighbors
we must come across so different
can you look at me with straight eyes
and say it's just the distance?
dance along so listlessly
have you ever seen a spider work with cellophane,
filaments ablaze,
all warped and tender?
will you tend to all that's left of the embers?
oh, honey, open up those underbite eyes
i promise that it's a better view from the inside

All that I Want
02:26
|
|||
on the third of june,
friday,
i told you that i loved you
and you cried,
and told me to keep going,
and later that you loved me,
but it just wasn't right
maybe i fuck my friends to feel some worth
clover in the grass or grass in the dirt?
i brushed my hand with god
left with nothing but all that i want

in the morning, i sang one part of three
he was searching for the person he could be
while all the rest of us sat hopefully about the fire
for our breakfast
between the knees and the headrest
you'll find the electric hum of everything from before us
i dream of Juneau
and of Adelaide
before the runway from the BNIA takes me, someday,
to an avenue
with some red brick that the ivy's woven into
like i used to see in prints of architects
in the little visions once set above my neck
as i fell asleep in the twin bed on the right side
in my head, i sang a simple harmony
she was searching for the person she should be
while the rest of them sat perfectly happy
with passions and convictions left amidst a slight intermission,
i'll find the electric hum if you just give me some time

Sungazing

the kids are getting weird in the back yard,
where the arborvitae shade can't escape the sun
oh, how the kids have grown since last year in the back yard!
but their faces just don't change
a fauvist dream
forget my name
we lift the veil
a bowl of shame
the hanging bulb
shimmer like rain
a choral hum
asleep again
happy home
trace your vein
sprightly step
my ochre flame
i'll pack it away in a lunchbox
and keep it close between my shoulderblades
the kids left their bicycles here in the back yard,
where the arborvitae shade can't escape the sun
oh, how the kids have grown since last year in the back yard!
all their faces stay the same

The Colors in Everything
01:50
|
|||
do you want to watch twin peaks,
or home movies,
with the black light on?
mellow air of blueberry mint
the taste is almost gone,
but i can still see the colors in everything
settling in the nooks,
and sneaking out over the porch
through a little bright window

Lily of the Valley
03:01
|
|||
i want to take you to the moona festival
wander under streetlights with our hands tied
deep inside my pocket
i'd feel all right
and how the room frosted over when you left my side
light bleeding from underneath the doorframe,
knowing that the love had died
i'll miss you in the morning
won't you please stay?
i saw the future at the moona festival
a garden glowing in the city
two sets of limbs to intertwine
we watched it bloom under tender hand and loving care
lily of the valley spilling over the vegetables we'd planted there
i'll miss you in the morning
won't you please stay?
