Placed As Some (Extravagance)


Unearthed
the most beautiful boy
asleep in the beaming
of a smiling red moon
like a butterfly
come to rest (doesn't need the love of the world)
on a still leaf (doesn't need the twists and turns)
before flying (doesn't need anything a thousandfold)
to the future (just a need a sun that burns)

A bit of my weeping wine
a bit of chatter in the 
noonday sunshine
and some filth and laughter
mad enough still for love
and some strange manner of living
to be the catcher
when you're laughing
when you fall
the punchline
on my sleeve
talks of dreams
in the morning rides
from night to day 
as Sinatra sings
let's get lost
chet is so boss
but due without the
personality
a thousand notes will help 
you see
oh my heart
does it need
some connection
satisfaction
my man in man
zooms in 
to take heed
and smoke
blooms.

Photographing Oranges In The Sun

go out now
and see the sun
and see the clouds
that played before this tune

100 days we walked around the world
a honking horn
a carpark 
and the boy you decided to be
a thousand memories
a millions songs
will they vanish
when I'm not me?
will the tape erase
my face and the songs that I sing
will there be anything
left that's good
when I am
nothing?
is that something?
more than anything
more than all the clouds in my heart
untapped ideas oranges unreeled
birds will run fallow
in their fathoms 
in the sky
witnessing eclipses
whales spray indicates time
where dreams run parallel
to flames that die down
like all things
its a replay
its a small thought
that means everything
but its something at least
today.
