Housecoat

I sleep in a housecoat
I command the weather
From the thick of my veins
My blood is a rain drop
It takes power and time
And pain
To make this right
We ain't ever gonna make this right
We put up the fight
Fighting ghosts
Avoiding conversations
So I sleep in a housecoat
I command the weather
From the thick of my veins.

Catching Pennies

Write about the experiences
You had
And the love you have come to want
The bricks and mortar
That build your words
When you end it
Again
And Again
And again.
Like a some sorry cliche
Gum stuck to your shoe
Be rid of it
Be gone
You're a broken story
That spins it's wheels
A record on repeat
Repeat
Repeat
You can skip a heart
You can skip your heart beat
To know what you want
In the slightest
Jumping out of a cake
With a smile on your face.
You will not be reborn.
Just something solemn
Buried there where I told you a secret
A valuable memory
And you buried it there
Because it meant nothing.
It all seemed so quiet and calm.
Now it's just dark.
At the bottom of this well.
I'm catching pennies now.

In the park

Cigarette burning on a picnic blanket
Where did it all go
Like some sad rom com
Fated to meet a sad
Yet comical end
We are all intersecting wire
And your glass if half full
Shattered on the floor
Tireless
You are the triumphant
Architecture
That walls haunt the drunk
The devoured
The premiscious
And I am the golden arch
That fell
And was burrows
All those years ago.
Attacked by a brown pigeon
In the park
By an oak
On the day
We met again
For the first time
