i am bird forever
I am bird forever
forever which is forever and ever
I saw it in the witch hill ruins
I saw it in the grave belt
I saw it in the flag you wore as a cape,
when the bombs were done exploding
but before the mines
I saw you as a bird

my last love, now lost, was unbelievably beautiful- she would come to me in my dreams, and she'd be surrounded by the most brilliant flowery light, and she'd stand there like an ivory tower

do you really want to carry all your possessions around for eternity?
bird

Enough! Silence! Enough!
yes yes, enough rough plowing for now
and they cleared their tables,
cleared their tables of all the mess of the years,
wax work candles shiny silverware alike
a bed littered with crafts
tigers pacing the floor
grinning in bare space of country
and I've got the gun loaded
gonna shoot that bird
cause that's right ain't it?
get rid of the things that annoy you in life?
and this here chickadee is certainly an annoyance
a royal flush in the wet deck
all tangled up in the sunset
as if from across the horizon you got a boost
and suddenly I remembered that my spot had been taken
I
I am
I am a madam,
a damsel
and I've got a playground for elephants
but you don't know that
no one ever told you
visions-
I was eating a metropolis
spinning water pool under my bed
a great bright picture on the ceiling
fascinations-
sexual thoughts
frequent friction
overuse of money as a substitute for services or goods
up here in this trip hop age
roll the rage in the cage
find a seal for your wheel
and reckon with what's real
when the ship you're waiting for
never sails into bay
this gadget, how do you use it?
and you, where's your paper and pencil?!
a red horse wouldn't do me any good
at night I'm playing with dolls and dice
and mirrors in the dark
I'm speaking ancient rituals
and I feel like I'm broken in backwards,
stretched across untraversable canvas
