Pull My Hair

Is the passion all gone?Or is it still newly-wed?If all this heat’s doingIs making us stick to the bedThen there’s no life to reviveBut if the hunger’s still thereBurried somewhere insideCovered up by the boredomWe’ve been trying to hideThen dig it upAnd devourAnd it’ll seem more like a songAnd less like it’s mathWhen you pull […]


Haligh, Haligh, A Lie, Haligh

The phone slips from a loose gripWords were missed then, some apologyI didn’t want to tell you thisNo, it’s just some guy she’s been hanging out withI don’t know, the past couple weeks I guessWell, thank you and hang up the phoneLet the funeral startHear the casket closeLet’s pin split-black ribbon to your overcoatWell, laughter […]

A Spindle, A Darkness, A Fever, And A Necklace

You turn on a spindleYou’re so much looser nowBut you’re not explaining howYou gained such new reposeI touch the clasp of your locketWith its picture heldSome secret you wouldn’t tellBut let it choke your neckSo imagine a darknessWhere all shapes divideSolids changing into lightWith a burst of heat so brightWell fine, don’t you do what […]


A Song To Pass The Time

There’s a middle-aged woman, she’s dragging her feetShe carries baskets of clothes to a laundromatWhile the Mexican children, kick rocks into the streetAnd they laugh in a language I don’t understandBut I love them, why do I love them?So the neighborhood’s dimming, I smoke on the porchWatch the people as they pass enclosed inside their […]
