k.
I’ve only known birds of flight feathers
Every other page stuck together
Snapshots so fragile they fused into one.
Some people just pine.
l.
You’re the worst idea I’ve ever had
My nails are shining as you shoot through my mind
I can’t imagine you sitting next to me in this cab
I can’t imagine what we’d say on the way home.
From closer to worst case, inevitably
I’m quite content we’d never see this through.
m.
I don’t ever need to know about you You can glow up or blow up or blow away, too
I know I was nothing special to you
So why do you care I don’t care about you?
I don’t ever need to know about you
You can glow up or blow up,
just blow away, too.You said it was nothing and, boy, you were right
so why be upset I ignored you all night?
He says it was nothing and, boy, was he right
and yet he’s upset you ignored him all night
n.
Thought he was the Second Coming
sitting down at the table,
and Saint Michael's gaze shot straight down to his cradle.
A bellyful of bullshit
on Christ's actual birthday
From closer to worst case, inevitably.
A warrior, he said.
And a war we kissed.
ñ.
Oh now it’s been decades, how you’ve been
I’ve been finding you all over,
not remembering anything.
I will make some lemonade, I will learn to make a quilt.
It’s the only thing that’s new, it’s the one thing that I built.
Did you ever fight for Christ? Feels it would’ve made the news.
Guess you didn’t,
guess we lose.
o.
In all these songs you lose
somebody, you watch
from the shore as «love slips away»
So helpless, so woe
is-me when woe IS ME for I
am love lost drifting from the bay.
We were in it together
I wanted it too
I don’t know if you know.
When you cry ‘cause you lost me,
it was out of your hands
I will wail like the ocean
I was made to be lost in.
Oh you’re crying ‘cause you lost me
No idea what it cost me
As if I wanted to be lost.
(…)
I never wanted to be lost.
