- A Flash Of Light Followed By
There was a flash of light
Followed by chaos
On the night
The moon struck my backyard
There was a flash of light
Followed by silence
And a deep desire to dust my chin with a finer ash
- Levee
The biggest moon I ever saw
was on the night I was right on time
Windham bound window down 302 I’m driving
teary eyed passenger turning up the radio crying
the only time I ever jumped I closed my eyes and nailed the landing
sweating lead turning left teeth marks on the dagger
open sill wounded ledge catalyst not soon forsaken
- Poor Eliza
I’m sinking, come save me poor Eliza my paths hid
my visions all black hole and quivering
it is what it is what it is
I curse thee, for placing these dark days upon me
for setting my blood as your dowry
it is what it is what it is
- Serpentine
A long stone and my day’s all serpentine
The tired tarnish in my chest rests sense of SARS
And one dull dawn where they hum that splits its length
Does my name sting your tongue? Now does it beg?
Your thin frame has set my eyes to fray
On our dim stretch of this street, how it aches
For every grey and sad and taut to coil
- The Last Parade On Ann St.
The last parade on Ann Street babe
was when the frost leaves sounded like glass
when we burned down the whole damn block
with a wink and just one match
well the site I reside in now
it's new grove but same old ghosts
but I owe to the one before
cause it's the one that stained my voice
- yes im cold
Yes, I'm cold, cold as ice
and so now you know
how our story is supposed to go
I say yes and then I'll say no
well you burnt a bird and then held it up
your collar now is a bloody cuff
cause you kept your heart inside your throat
