To call it true; no credit in the world
Would be enough to pry your arms apart
One’s eyes shade pink; forgotten green
Life is rich enough without

(2013)

Breath of steam, away we go; Stacking smoke; shoveling coal. Stepping forward in the line; Rhythm machine, we’re keeping time… Rosie’s got us off our knees;

Grey Birds

Snow whisps form Across the black of the tar; Makes the street seem like a hidde… Floating, slipping Our vessel Ill-equipped to danger…

The old man’s coming back, I hear… Clean up, too much acceptance here… He’d die to see you put yourself Before the troubles of another! Put an eye behind the blinds,

Star Signs

Look! A rising star is born! Beautiful face, lovely smile, Happy and laughing, full of innoce… Let’s take them and teach them how… Let them learn to aspire, to want,…

Right as Rain

Take a sip of cough syrup, It’ll keep you right as rain. Scratch at the notch, Slip on a gold watch; You won’t need to feel again.
