she comes back tonight. Fuck.

In Your Goodbye

Taken apart and timeless
I am
Deconstructing to nothings
And extents I've never been

Parts of these deserts are beaches
Where my words shine like souls
When that chalice won't reach your lips
Your mouth feels drier than before

Where were you hiding
All the love in your goodbye?

We were not built
To bear each other miracles
But our journey stretches back
From this inevitable end

We can see it clear
Like a brilliant glowing thread
Sewing up a universe otherwise
Lonely and indifferent

Where were you hiding
All the love in your goodbye?

I know your heart feels
Heavy
As you shine it for someone new that
Shows you it is gold and not lead

And our pains will be ecstasies
In the end, when happiness finds us
Separate

What Can't You Do?

Early in the morning

Stumbling barefoot across the park

Jumping off benches, stealing sweaters from the cars

What can't you do with a drunken sailor?

Put him in the longboat til he's sober

And up she rises

Early in the morning

Speaking too forward in the trees

Dew dropping from the branches in the breeze

What can't you do with a drunken sailor?

Pull out the plug and wet him all over

And up she rises

Early in the morning

Straight at him from the airport

Tears down his shirt and snot on his sleeves

What can't you do with a drunken sailor?

Put him in a leaky boat and make him bale her

And up she rises
