midnight in Brenham
drinking with Orion
while the insects croon
while the insects brood
got a head full of smoke
tobacco on your tongue
talk to the moon
reminisce about youth
do you remember in high school
out past the curfew
Orion in the sunroof
talking it through
dragging on the past
until it gets nauseous
smother its ash
toss it in the trash

thank god the bell as it sounds in the claim
follow the turning, carries the weight
all ones in travel will be kept at bay
all at rest spinning ad infinity
I know there's a parallel
forfeit appearances pant to the gate
runway of strangers each to their place
what would have been had we been late?
time to consider each minor change
I know there's a parallel

Silo
04:15
|

|
cut fog gravel road
vanishing San Antonio
thumb on the window pane
draw a star around your name
choke up like you've been told
ten two to keep control
stare out into the vague
guess at a growing grey
I think I see a silo
bit more a mile or dos
hawk above a wooden cross
you see the king of jews float down the Guadalupe
pass lines of death row freaks fenced penitentiary
they plea "don't wait for me, I'll only be a silo"
I think I see a silo
she said it's different - being alone and being lonely
you tell her two can be one without being needy
she's says be careful storing your grain, lest you're taken too soon
everything stored is something to lose - and you wouldn't want that now babe would you?

buried corpse underneath the city
watch her on a train away
east coast comfort warm with pity
lost within a platform change
now what do you gotta do to get her off your mind?
homeless man sitting by a pay phone
ask him for a word today
preacher's (preaches) love comes with a patience
comes only to those who wait
now what do you gotta do to get her off your (goddamn) mind?

Northern Light
06:17
|

|
burning sun
lay on the horizon
pink the western hills
spreading wide
give to dusk
lay bare a constellation
bear a kind of star
northern in its light
I see a drop of white in an oil-spill sky
stumbing
stilettos made of pipe and beam
stuck in city tar
between red and green
it's weed and wheat
grasping without way to see
office light is dark
over northern gleam
we - we're staining eyes to see a drop of cream in an oil-soaked machine
she's got a love
makes like tired rail cars
up and down the folds
of the U Pac line
Her back an forth
is wearing all her wheels to bolts
steady moving North
northern to a light
a vanishing light
swore you saw a white
flicker in the frame of an inkblot night
I - I know it's just a trick!
a little TOPHAT MAGICK
you can try to see
by a lamp in empty space
like a drunkard in a maze
try to read the words erased
northern light without a trace
Drive your car
past where all the signs hush
park beside a field
with its arms out wide
twirl your dress
so fast it rises to your chest
no worry for your nakedness
peeking through the clouds
shedding northern light
Now out there on your own
you're northern in your light
isn't it right?

do what we say
and don't forget about it
now it's on the tip of our tongues
have we lost our heads?
did we leave them there amongst the politicians
lending backwards hands even charming god with money bags?
it's gonna be okay
hey - it's gonna be okay
it's pestering - that crippling numb that leaves you
curled up in a ball on the floor
it's following - that grisly voice that tells you you're not alone anymore
it's gonna be okay
hey- it's gonna be okay
life is miserable enough I mean, god
life is magic unbelievable

sign ahead of view
somewhere without
responsibility
take it as it goes
another joke
a little further
choose the west or east
I could care the least
I'll be looking up
sky -- the limitless
if the fucker falls
we'll live underground
stop along the way
next place for gas
to burn what came before
time to melt the clock
mirror on the wall
cracks for our good luck
leaves in four or three
I could care the least
anyway to see
we'll be looking up
stop the daily grind
contact the eyes

Kite song
02:48
|

|
statue in a park nearby
sun slipping on the sky
day's long copper yawn
looking for a thing to spy
see a runner and a kite
drawn across peripheral
kite, I've watched you too long now
not to comment as you bow
waiting for a gust to take you up
you crumple on the dying grass
falter after every cast
take a rest upon the earth
kite, I think it's cute to see
the way you toss so idly
tissue in a westerly
paper on a wind
think it's sad, think it's strange
you only rise because your weight
only rip because the same
when wind gets too strong
