bull

. . .
bull is lying on the ground
his fur is grey his eyes are brown
the matador he wipes his hands
and blows a kiss to all his fans
a trail of smoke tailing me;
i hear your voice humming endlessly
a charging bull doesn't think twice
he doesn't pause or blink his eyes-
the present is a gift to him
tomorrow is a distant thing
a trail of smoke tailing me;
i hear your voice humming endlessly

clay

watch the angel walk away;
even he has feet of clay
look on his face - its a look of dismay
no pretty face could keep hound dogs at bay
look on his face of gold

jasper

see jasper in his bowl
theres a world beyond that glass he doesn’t know
there’s a peace he’ll never find;
i feel like jasper sometimes.
but jasper's sleeping on the stones
as for me I make my head my only home;
i am a hand thats letting go
i am the troubled tao of d'oh
and like jasper, my vision isn’t clear
and like jasper, my home isn’t here
and like jasper, I’m aimless and confused
and like jasper, I’m stuck in here with you

teeth

one tooth says to the next one,
"do you know how to tie tongues?
this Mouth has too much to say
he gives his teeth a bad name."
next one responds to the tooth,
"your words are valid and true
but Mouth will say what it wants
these lips bow down to no one."
i watch the bird go flying
my hands remain just trying
you live your life like a dance
i fix the holes in my pants
i clamor in confusion
i feel your hands and lose them
you bite your lip
(i bite my tongue)

rattlesnake

|
in bed with a rattlesnake,
kissing the hand that takes
and takes,
always wanting
always hungry
water the soil and hold the fruit in your hands
someday away from harm,
someday you’ll sleep in loving arms
without worry
without shame -
you’ll know love’s name
water the soil and hold the fruit in your hands
. . .
