When is the time to give, do we need the rain, fail to show us love, and you my lover, with your laughing ways, under yellow covers, how do we live, knowing not what to say, praying that's enough, rub a stone or piece of wood, as if to create, a little bit of wonder, what's wrong with being different, it's not our place, to get a blaze to shift, maybe not even our gift, even on holidays, to live without cliffs, recognize what's above ? my wrist around her glides, her body limpid, to lay upon the tide, with the herring gulls alone, their faces to the wind of someone else's purlieu, learn to dance don't get blue, ignore those cool untruths, give me just one more time. each sea green evening, she dances on Hawaii, thats what she'd like to do How can we ever grow, /is this your last throw it reaches inside you again worms of the cemetery quarantine, resist just the same, they party every night, and you my lover throw, scenes down every lane, skim the lake with stones, swear what you'd never be, each Sunday again, when sunlight lifts the Poppies, hide her deceit/ a soul not hers to keep certainly not deep, a family she thinks cheap, who don't check their Escrow, than promissory notes, far more than any keep, birds thrum their tune, she pulls at my traces, the moon is her nosegay it haunts her face, other shipwreck signs,

Who will tend her bones, how beautiful her kiss, does a river wash the stones, my wrist around her glides, her body limpid, to lay upon the tide, with the herring gulls alone, their faces to the wind, white breasts atone, blue notes a soul on fire, for the Cormorants we miss, at Christmas times in mire, their flight is almost known, black scissors hunt for fish, her moonlit eyes are gone, she asks where is home, remembers every broken promise, including what is known, gently makes her wish. How can we ever grow, /is this your last throw it reaches inside you again worms of the cemetery quarantine, resist just the same, they party every night, and you my lover throw, scenes down every lane, skim the lake with stones, swear what you'd never be, each Sunday again, when sunlight lifts the Poppies, hide her deceit/ a soul not hers to keep certainly not deep, a family she thinks cheap, who don't check their Escrow, than promissory notes, far more than any keep, birds thrum their tune, she pulls at my traces, the moon is her nosegay it haunts her face, other shipwreck signs, of someone else's purlieu, learn to dance don't get blue, ignore those cool untruths, give me just one more time. what comes to meet you, the decks that grace her due, each sea green evening, she dances on Hawaii, thats what she'd like to do

How can we ever grow, when our bodies list and ache, if not by winter's groan, worms of the cemetery quarantine, resist just the same, they party every night, and you my lover throw, scenes down every lane, skim the lake with stones, swear what you'd never be, each Sunday again, when sunlight lifts the Poppies, how beautiful are your bones, your neck as it cranes, betrayed as my torso falls, soldiers never act alone, their faces to the rain, someone far from home, never feels the pain. hide her deceit/ a soul not hers to keep certainly not deep, a family she thinks cheap, who don't check their Escrow, than promissory notes, far more than any keep, birds thrum their tune, scientists of a global nigh, your mother prays to atone, kids on yellow block reel regular as the five and dime, she pulls at my traces, the moon is her nosegay it haunts her face, shudder with each wine, think of the next engagement, in the evening gloom, other shipwreck signs, of someone else's purlieu, learn to dance don't get blue, ignore those cool untruths, give me just one more time. what comes to meet you, the decks that grace her due, each sea green evening, she dances on Hawaii, thats what she'd like to do

Depending on how you sleep, for a justice sought, my daughter would weep, what she doesn’t know, cannot be bought, on trips to New York, certainly not deep, to fill any loving thoughts, a family she thinks cheap, who don't check their Escrow, nothing better wrought, than promissory notes, far more than any keep, she maintains a clause, states that nothing is free, inflated by what she sees, she looks upon nought's, like prayer without a priest, on troubles brought. u i o birds thrum their tune, scientists of a global nigh, your mother prays to atone, kids on yellow block reel regular as the five and dime, she pulls at my traces, the moon is her nosegay it haunts her face, shudder with each wine, think of the next engagement, in the evening gloom, other shipwreck signs, of someone else's purlieu, learn to dance don't get blue, ignore those cool untruths, give me just one more time. what comes to meet you, the decks that grace her due, each sea green evening, she dances on Hawaii, thats what she'd like to do

Lover tell me the time. that has no reign, when i gasped for wine, sweated for what's known, in motels along the highway, was i always alone, in my tears and finery, you said just the same, there is never a line. you could not throw, me this and that way, to give up that hi tone, even with easy crime, love kills when i pray, you turn away your eyes, are you just being kind, to spare me the pain, of a wretched life, when you depart again. u i o birds thrum their tune, scientists of a global nigh, your mother prays to atone, kids on yellow block reel regular as the five and dime, she pulls at my traces, the moon is her nosegay it haunts her face, shudder with each wine, think of the next engagement, in the evening gloom, other shipwreck signs, of someone else's purlieu, learn to dance don't get blue, ignore those cool untruths, give me just one more time. what comes to meet you, the decks that grace her due, each sea green evening, she dances on Hawaii, thats what she'd like to do 0, soft a frustrated by home, supped thin by water, she's ready to go alone, tuned/ wound dances free without control, your lips can only croak, on the porch storms flare, moan/ away i your consoling pain, between you and your claims,

How you hide your pain, while a lover somewhere weeps, closer to the flame, a flicker at your gate, when you try to sleep, lock in your battered gains, like brigands fight the tide, heavy, scarred, ill at ease, silver cups your eyes, do you plan to wait, make your body seep, from sail or distant animate, which might include your flight, coin and notes that crease, always to be right. an arc of scurried waves, a map, some perfume, please, you won't try another way, or merely smile release. u i o birds thrum their tune, scientists of a global nigh, your mother prays to atone, smoking her Camel Lites, just to worry you, kids on yellow block reel regular as the five and dime, she pulls at my traces, the moon is her nosegay it haunts her face, shudder with each wine, think of the next engagement, in the evening gloom, other shipwreck signs, of someone else's purlieu, learn to dance don't get blue, ignore those cool untruths, give me just one more time. what comes to meet you, the decks that grace her due, each sea green evening, she dances on Hawaii, thats what she'd like to do 0, soft a frustrated by home, supped thin by water, she's ready to go alone, tuned/ wound dances free without control, your lips can only croak, on the porch storms flare, moan/ away i your consoling pain, between you and your claims,

Why mix me your blend, or leave me tattered dreams, call me a lemon friend, hurt me with your truth, and twisted ballet scenes, with perfect bows and perfumes, quarry me pink or tend, take me to my knees, gently ease your stipend, run a knife of glue, dance feather like as a bee, across a bridge of wasted tunes, don't make me bend, if you’ve someone else to see, i won't become a trend, face to mine in the end, satin shoed tambourine, you know what to lend, talk is cheap. 0, soft a frustrated by home, supped thin by water, she's ready to go alone, tuned/ wound dances free without control, your lips can only croak, on the porch storms flare, moan/ away i your consoling pain, can ask what they like, but you tell me lies, i dance my evasions, whisper to the night, between you and your claims, the peace of moonlight, burns on my fire, it doesn't feel right, u i o birds thrum their tune, scientists of a global nigh, your mother prays to atone, smoking her Camel Lites, just to worry you, kids on yellow block reel regular as the five and dime, she pulls at my traces, the moon is her nosegay it haunts her face, shudder with each wine, think of the next engagement, in the evening gloom, other shipwreck signs, of someone else's purlieu, learn to dance don't get blue, ignore those cool untruths, give me just one more time. what comes to meet you, the decks that grace her due, each sea green evening, she dances on Hawaii, thats what she'd like to do
