Persephone

How long I’ve waited to understand,
Why this goddess of the land
Was sent from heaven unto earth
To bring the lonely Hades mirth.
The story of forbidden fruit,
Seems to only hide the root
Of the truth by which she was sent below
To hide from every winter's snow.
Don't give your brother what he viscerally wants.
Keep him under Styx which he hath wrought.
Take your sister by her trembling hand.
Show her for what you will not stand!
Keeping quiet is D’Aulaires,
As he pays the boat mans fares
To carry down your well kept truth
Of why my daughters made aloof.

Coffee
01:56
|

Out the old train window I was struggling to find,
What I had lost, what I had lost.
Is that Him? No it
No it can’t be.
I almost forgot
What he looks like, what he sounds like.
There’s fear in my eyes,
I know that now.
Why does it have to be here?
Why does it have to be now?
I traveled such a long way to clear this break.
I’ll stare into my coffee and forget it all.
I’ll stare into my coffee, it’s gone.

Hillside
03:48

Down from the hillside,
To meet a maker
Down at the bottom,
Where the water and trees run wild
At dusk you will find me with a stone in my hand
Down by the river,
I placed my hands,
Feeling the coarseness,
Of the hard, washed sand
In the swoon of dusk when the trees flee
Over the mountains,
On a nearby coast,
They set their pace for a moment,
To stride over stone
And what’s that I heard?
When I walk overhead.

Back Porch Frame
03:00
|

I have a memory of a back porch baby,
In the snow where I dunked my head,
Underneath the covers of your king sized bed.
I have a statement for pushing off numbly,
From the cold of your twin sized bed,
Underneath the covers where I was bled.
Can you speak freely? It’s been about a year or two,
Since I said goodbye, somewhat out of the blue,
Somewhat out of the blue.
So please remember,
What who did.
If you can’t stop what your mind construes
I’ll help remind you.
I can’t wait patiently for my brain to drop it’s fuzz,
Sit alone in a room,
Is this couch my doom?
What will I misconstrue?
So please remember,
What who did.
If you can’t stop what your mind construes
I’ll help remind you.
So please remember,
What I did,
If its good or not it’s up to you,
I can wait for a year or two
To feel my shoulders undertake
The freefall shrug and start to break
The clay thats build around my feet
To hold me incomplete.
I have a memory of a back porch frame.

The Shallows
04:05
|

The great river chased us home,
Through the shallows of its bones,
And we wept for the day when it all dried up,
We remember the shallows, do you remember the shallows?
The Great Lakes blocked our path,
We tried to drive over, over that,
And we prayed for the waves to suddenly part,
But our car sank deeper, and our engine won’t start.
Pushed down below the silt,
Become the refuse the ages built.
We are free to melt
To the sea, to the sea.
The mighty river showed us home,
Where the concrete looked like stone,
And we stared at the bridge over narrow streets,
And we looked for the river, have you seen the river?

The Southern Provence
05:39
|
|||
Dark as my eyelids close,
I feel the blue perpetuate the tangled nodes,
Laying on the bricks in the afternoon,
Sleeping on the floor for the month of June.
Warm, as the cool breeze traces
Above the sheets to uncharted places.
Lightness, as I stand composed,
Evening follows quickly as the darkness grows.
Leaving with the wind as it sings to me,
Whispering what I can’t conceive
My harbors not closer.
I left you on the shore where
Maiden grass grows
And a steady breeze that whispered
With a gale in toe.
As the water seeps up from the ground,
And the shoreline breaks onto the sound I look.
The traffic of arcane sands
Driven by the storm
Reaching out to pull you landward
Into Calypsos arms.
If I’m swallowed, brought back to the sea,
I will be carried back.
Grasping, I have reached my home,
True to where the mighty hawk tailed arrows flown.
Crawling from the sea,
The towering waves fade away.
My voyage is over.
