Surrender

the bolt slides, swooshclick
its passenger tumbles out
lain down, i am free

The Third January

i was asked if i wanted a picture
i could hardly whisper no
before tears began their fall

Instead of the Paper

wet kisses trace the spine
firm hands hold here
and there

promises and dirty words
buried against skin

coffee cups left
to the morning sun

steam rises

Digger Man Blues

i'm feelin' low down cuz my man's gone away
yeah, i'm feelin' real down, my man he's gone away
didn't need nothin' special, just wanted him to stay

he used to call me baby when he held me real tight
he used to call me baby, he held me in his arms real tight
now i'm all alone, even sleep don't come at night

my man ain't comin' back, tell me it ain't true
no, my man ain't comin' back, it just cain't be true
i'm beat up, i'm tore up, i'm just so sad and blue

i want to be a leaf

adrift

on a dark ocean
under a neverending sky

stars so low
they make ripples
