Saw a rabbit

pulled into the drive
that’s up to the moon
this week’s like the last
didn’t read the room
you look like you’ve seen a ghost
as the rain refracts and
dust is dancing on your coat
it’s a chain reaction
you look like you’ve seen a ghost.

stock still
wound too tightly
eyes of a pisces
head on for the nightlies
tiptoed drunk to the window sized and beside me
hard cut
reds on the walkway drives to the wrong day
why the wrong face
put another dime in the mindstain rust from along rain
dragonfly on a branch
we were dancing with reaches and chance
a peach balanced on the back of your hand
two fedex trucks where it moons
two soggy afternoons
i’m changing clocks the wrong way
two fedex trucks where it moons
one mumbled platitude
tripped over my feet i feel okay
and the room went silent
a picture of me pitched against a kitchen island
in the middle of the night new head like laura palmer’s scream
leaning on the mirror in the last shot staring past the houses
performing tricks of the light where my mouth is
scary movies and stale cookies it wasn’t the thought that shook me
i’ve been out walking

Constellation face
03:42

i had a dream that you lived in my old apartment
we stayed up late in the night
across the creek from your cheek and still tried to stop it
another thought that didn’t come out right
and with my hand on the way wrong shade of winter
i got no reason to lie
and with the wool on my eyes i walk the center line
in your grandpa’s lexus at the drive-in movie
a piece of july breaks off and runs through me
with a face like a constellation
i drive like a demon halation to station
freeze framed at the drive-in movie
a piece of july chipped off to flow bluely
and with a face like a constellation
we’re walking the fog from halation to station
i had a dream i was crossing the empty freeway
it’s just a trick of the light
the laundromat flickering on constant replay
and three right turns beneath the yellow kite
i slept through winter like an animal you know this
still stepping into my sight
you got off easy with a world you never noticed
the sea swells
the spending of october at home
dialectics of a maple tree's bones
the sea swells
the spending of october at home

We staid up late
03:58
|
|||
we stayed up late
you lit the flame
i felt the same
one way
ghost states
come stumbling out of one’s grave
i took a walk today
i must have pressed replay
i’m all years
these days
on lit-up streets with no name
i took a walk today
the plow that broke the plains
i waded through the target starbucks
you wanna know the sum test our luck
i am not the one with their guard up
the sun is not a person smart up

Thought it was the smoke

give me the season give me a smile
out on the blacktop waiting a while
fly out the window i’m not your guy
no revolution no dryer eye
give me your reason throw me a turn
everyone’s gone to the fires they burned
bitter the coffee tighter the urn
no revolution what did we learn
when i get scared, i just call you
pulling the levers cry to the bank
play out the gambit who’s there to thank
same foggy cycle same new years day
no revolution band simply plays
stepped in my shadow started the car
one lucid moment twisted my arm
give me a second give me a smile
no revolution no one for miles
when i get scared, i just call you

Snows
02:53

i sat chameleonesque
thought it was the sea wind, sweating out the demon
as he lights the last cigarette
treat it like a night off, craters in the sidewalk
i waved in saccharine haze
technicolor tango, we’ll just have to say so
stomach fluttering way the next day
i know i’m still in tent prose, you know what i meant though
if everybody lived the same life would they have the same dreams at night?
something about the junipers stayed tangled in their ribcage kisses from the lemon rind, this is when they stop the tape and never press rewind.
the sea is a perpetual motion machine is all they can think stumbling back to an unlocked car or laying supine for the archaeologists to find.
steps out on the back deck away from a party that looks nothing like a hieronymous bosch, their wallet’s somewhere in the underbrush i’m sure, i’m sure...
i reject the question -- or at least not tonight -- stinging in their face from the cold, it always snows at the exact wrong time

Automatic stop
06:04
|
|||
have a little faith
door slam and the room goes silent
no secrets and no surprises
same day with a different haircut
realize that you can’t rewind it
freeze frame at the drive in movie
new end let the blend run through me
light head and ill-fitting shoes on
i just know that something’s gotta go wrong
man bites dog. i’ll take the pressure off. you’ve got no other eyes. snapped off and painted white,
automatic stop
i waded through the target starbucks.
