Ninety One

I won't leave you alone, it's a disgrace, throw away those bombs, Oh do it if you must, let's get out of this place, instead of gathering dust, there's just enough gone, to leave a nasty taste, stay away from loans, that's another boss, hasn't got a case, unaware how corrupt, you bought this honeycomb, for a woman that makes, her own County Court, can't hide that she's lost, it's not something fake, you do what you would, on this Blue note, you're not a stepping stone, i know it's me you love, but not by 'phone.

Ninety

Some nights i ask why, other times whoah, stars are out all night, might as well be Space, to mark our credit zone, we're out that late, you come within my sight, the wind is black and cold, then gone another time, if kids and dogs are great, then don't go stoaming, stay just where you are, get up saying Hi, make a place back home, flame starts with a light, when you hear me complain, shout down a broken phone, laugh don't berate, no matter how we fight, or strain our hungry bones, we're only chasing sky, don't want to be alone.

Eighty Nine

My ma stamps the tar, she crumbles, when he buys the car, no pine needles or hay, to keep bursting like lovers, home or away, won't let him cross the arc, he's just trouble, right from the off, a sail on blue waves, with candlelit coveres, is that what he craves, he's ruined her heart, my girl says 'i wonder', if that's only the start, he's not far away, love always hungers, for trips on the train, I still hear me Da, laughing like a juggler, happy he's not barred, our house on the corner.

Eighty Eight

Whoever makes me plead, waves goodbye to dreams, they leave me all alone, consider me gone, not perturbed nor relieved, dancing on my bones, December in warm seas, an Ocean left to grieve, if you believe, when I walked you home, under the lilac trees, my eyes were aglow, another time to bleed, always open to any greed, they ask me the ghosts, sat on bar stools to atone, another broken scene, you never did throw stones, what was once your creed, how you perceive, and tried to cajole, without a hope.

Eighty Seven

It's useless to hesitate, the knife's on the bone, always strikes too late, never safe to heed, where I've been going, whoever makes me plead, always leaves the gate, they say slay my ghosts, can't access our taste, wave goodbye to that scene, they have me all alone, whose turn now to bleed, it leaves me prostrate, a tune with broken tones, sealed in a shipping crate, if this is your creed, when you leave home, then who can succeed, the moon gyrates, it knows what I've seen, the wind in the slates, the fire in the breeze.

Eighty Six

Swallows dust your sisters, forget how to wrangle, those who miss the ship, your search for the free, hangs like an icicle, in songs of the wind, sometimes you kiss, my reclining bangles, in lost bitter promises, so close to the sea, stand and faces or handle, the sometimes night freeze, that makes you laugh guiltless, each line a shenanagle, at a new pointed Ithmus, will you write to me, come back and dandle, is it not to be, why do you insist, that kind of being single, what is there to miss, me on the shingle?

Eighty Five

How my voice is raised, I have no need of you, no one listens summer days, i hate to be alone, trapped by my own curfew, on this street or Metro, but you are an angel, brought me something new, to calm my rage, you arrange the loans, the fellowship do's, put jelly on my bones, before you came, nothing seemed true, this time you've created, when you start to 'phone, turns suddenly new, more than all I know, now you've passed away, can't get past the Blues, am shrunken day to day, around me too much you.
