late this afternoon
one hour behind
the blinds break up the light
and pattern the skin
of your wife, tired staying in
and of her smile, patient wearing thin
some they speak
and some they shout
some they fear this
and some they doubt..
you said she’s all I think about
you said she’s what I can’t do without
just this afternoon
and no time to waste
blue behind your eyes
and marks on your face
you played “second grace”…

sleepless mother
find rest
you really did your best
he headed west
sweetest water
not quite brunette
can you not forget?
your patient threat...
maybe you’ll run, you’ll run all night
it’s a bitter win
it’s a bitter fight
you’ve been too long around thus town
you’ve lived it up, you’ll live it down
some days they run, they run all night
I close my eyes between the lights

hey
is something behind you?
something that drives you?
something that tries you?
hey
I think you could make it
I think you could make it
cos one of these days, these days will end
heal
the wounds of our reason
you’re fleeing young demons
and changing your seasons
feel
something beside you
something that guides you
something that blinds you
cos one of these days, these days will end

is there a third that walks beside you?
are angels set around your bed?
i meant to be the one to find you
i meant to remember all you said
are we two thieves? are you forgiven?
does “no one by that name live here anymore?”
tomorrow we’ll figure out those details
tomorrow we’ll figure out a plan
who is it now that walks beside you?
who says the words inside your head?
will you return from that fair highland?
cos i don’t remember what you said…

telescopes
we’ll grieve the hopes
we get lonely when we’re alone
distances
adolescence
you’ll get lonely out on your own
a line to boast
but the narrowmost
never the path of less or least
a hollow
a track i’ll follow
its a wedding feast

I had a dream and you were what I found
I went outside and you were all around
tiny white flowers across your knees
frayed and fragile cotton and honeybees
you were in love your feet were poorly shod
and I could not outrun
the grace of God
you don’t gotta worry, summerhead
I had a dream and you were heaven’s bread
you and “those that rush across the sea”
what do you rush to see? rush across to me
we’re not meant to be, human, flawed
but we cannot outrun
outrun the grace of God
