idiot wind.
daydream of the way things sometimes are
sometimes aren't
but now movement forward (i'm looking back-iknowishouldn't)

theres blood on the saddle
blood on the moon
blood on my hands
and blood on my t-shirt
blood on a letter lost and found
blood on the door to our souls
blood on shelves books buttons destiny blood

its a wonder i can still breathe at points like
these
lioness has decided to win
calling from across water

coax me to swim
to dive in and begin another
vicious visceral cycle my
stomach will twist and reject the poison

keep moving your teeth cause
instead of words that imprison
words of freedom and sorrow only stick
rather than my blood on your paws

its hard. its saddening. the sky makes me shiver. the weather makes me miss. a simple cigarette keeps your hand in my view. your scent sticks to my clothes. and image is still there. the blood is still there. water doesnt work. neither do the birds. or oklahoma. the dawn the run the slide the metal the taste the crow the package the tune the math the sea the wire the feast the rage the sorrow the hair the touch the smoke the signal the writing the sun the chapter the epilogue the flight the terminal the illness the page the turning the heart the age the lips the smallness the year the captain the antiques the father the explosion the rising the air the capitol the rings the keys the nails the festival the fall the break the tie the lever the implosion the cave the out the jack the movement the bar the grass the gasoline the feet the cracks the face the curve the effort the loss the disease the bruise the outdoors the expanse the lilies the passage the clock the taming the release the peace the settlement the conversation the happiness the film the breath the shore the embrace the town the travel the dimness the room the floor the reflection the attention the lines the deeds the debt the review the dress the back the turning the distance will continue the end.
