sitSit down, my child, my sweet, my love
Come down and sit on these matresses of lies-
The shattered dreams, aspirations, salutations.

Sit down, my child, my sweet, my love
Tell me all and everything. Inside and out. Up above
and below and beside and around
the common law of man-
Right hand drive. Thou shalt not kill.
Thou shalt commit adultery. Jaywalking.

Sit down, my child, my sweet, my love
Lay upon me the burdens of today's aluminium youth-
The cadances. The charades. Capricorns and sea urchins.
Sex on an imagined scale. Weaponized, galvanized and brutal. Political suicide.
For you as well, my dear.

Sit down, my child, my sw
memento. remember.I never remember to forget.
Yet i always seem to hold on.
Just when im so ready to let go.
The color shines into my eyes.
Just for a moment.
But for a fleeting moment.
And the gravel beneath my feet
Turns to snow and ash once more

SongbirdHe sang a song today
The melody
Sweet yet piercing to the ear
Harsh on the heartstrings
Tender and loving yet
Burns like the branding

She stumbled along the road
Her feet
Worn and bloodied by her
travels since time immemorial
When the river flooded
And the light came down

He missed a note now and then
Shuddered
Said that he was better, far
Better than this, his resolve
As the sands filled the pit
And soon the sun

She rode on with the hand
Her lie
As fate carried her far away
From home, from him
Far from prying, longing
Eyes of his love

He left for home in the night
1:12 august
Still he walks on.

She sparked the flam
