cold snapped like a coiled spring
you can feel the frost coming on
we are marigolden- dropping orange and umber,
just barely holding on
and now the downtown's dolled up with tinsel and angels
seasons sneak up like haircuts, teased apart and tangled
we were fraying for awhile, but we took it all down
like garland hanging off traffic signals
leave the lights on
cause it might be nighttime when i get there
but I'm on my way home
putting on old clothes in a new way
putting on a pose in a new stage
waking up everyday just a little bit changed
while it breaks over us like waves
long live beauty; short live pain
Lust for wander and hunger pangs
face your fear, not your shame:
it doesn't end, it just wears away
leave the lights on
cause it might be nighttime when i get there
but I'm on my way home
i’ve been clawing away at what's underneath:
closer than solid ground beneath your feet
closer, even now, than lips and teeth
closer now than out of reach
and the body remembers what the mind forgets:
archives every heartbreak, every cigarette
these reset bones? they might not hold
but they might yet
leave the lights on
cause it might be nighttime when i get there
but I'm on my way home
