how

she tried and she failed
she tried and she failed
until one day she realised it didn’t matter
it had never mattered
she fell into the heart of love.

you got mail

Got a message for me ?
Yes. You are unbearably sweet.

the way things are

even hate and lies are love
they just got twisted a little in translation

and the world

there are times i’ve been so lonely
i’ve walked under the low trees just to get touched
that was back when i was changing so fast and so much
nothing stayed long enough for me to take its face in both my hands
saying: you

done

having been through all the wild tomorrows
having done with time (time done with us)
we came out the other side and
put everything back where we’d found it
forks bags settees
every table made from every tree
every bucket kfc battered deep fry ripped from bird
we put it all back pristine
and came popping out one two three into oblivion

making

sometimes when i get up early
before the final pieces of the day have firmed up
i get to have my say with how and when
flowers things human hearts
the sky just a little emptier and yes please a small dash of horse
i can even follow the string of beads back into the soft past
turning forming innocent
(flowers things and human hearts)
