where do you go when you go
who do you call when you call home
would you cut off a piece of it for me
dig deep, bury it under autumn leaves
keep it covered and soon enough you'll see
buds are blossoming on our family tree
would you ever go alone
could you even call it home

in port deposit i was afraid
of the things i thought you would say
fingers tensing around your neck
what keeps a habit in check
the nails you scratch, the lips you bite
the looks you catch, the car you sold
the hand that feeds is getting cold
the teeth that rot, the couch you crash
the shot you spike, the check you bounce
the match you strike, the bridge you burn
the dice you roll and never learn
the sleep you lose, the fear you fight
it's just not like me to intervene

Alkali Moon

you drive in circle eights
fanning the first of may
open and closed
bearing a starker face
keeping alarming pace
searching for higher ground
whether fixed or found
you fall into place
go with an eye toward june
sowing the seeds of soon
you double back and then
weathering the wind
begin to bloom

Dreamboat

you come and go, readjusting the sails
keeping course for no one
up from below, a familiar sway
leeward in the low sun, beating on a doldrum
we're on a dreamboat
where would you go if you could
would you tell me if it wasn't good
or would you lay back and float in the wind
is it even undertow
if it's where you wanted to go
follow the way back to where we begin

candy apple bobby boy you make a meal of it
when he gets angry, dinner at the tv set
he's coming to collect payment and respect
city boy
sedentary bodies hover in the open air
when you're wary sorry lover with a hope and prayer
pick your poison bobby copping out to unaware
and when you have it made empty pale and staid
city boy never knew the strength of his own hands
watch the water drip from the offering stand while the offer still stands
yellow moon bringing out a darker shade of shame
in my room come quick while the other one fans an untenable flame
for a long time coming it's a long time past
but the days get colder and the days go fast
and the blood on the corner of your mouth dries black
if you feed him caraway he won't come back
and i understand and i'll be your man

it's 7:30whatever
i keep an eye on the door
she traces out the familiar
on someone's laminate floor
and you are closing the curtains
while i am sweeping the stage
you are a change in the weather
and it's been raining for days
his body races and rumbles
for you to come and collect
we are a sunken cathedral
why bother holding your breath
when you wake up in the morning
and i am climbing the stairs
and you are suffering sweetly
and i am trying to care
it's not enough for you
why would you suffer through
it's an embarrassment
i'm taking care of it
it's my favorite technique for rainy days and losing sleep
just take the lighter off the shelf and set a fire to yourself
