I was pulled in your direction
A mix of interest and affection
Between my inertia and your gravity
Now beset by introspection
All I have is circumspection
As I watch the world below me endlessly.

Captured the Stars in You
I captured the stars in you
I wondered if I could do
It here with you so near
I captured the stars in you
Didn’t care if you wanted me to
When I captured the stars in you -
I’m Dying in the Winter
I’m dying in the winter
Slate sky and battered windows
Are the only companions
I can find today -
Unquiet Grave – FAWM2022
The Boreas made the gentlest noise,
As she struck the planet red
I never had but one true love
In a capsule, she lies dead.

The Butterflies Are Doing Ok
They said
To write to you
They would send it today
And you would get it
Though you’re quite far away
I don’t know what exactly that
I want to say…
Um
The butterflies are doing ok.

The Salt Maids
Giant trolls came to / law-ground
Plucked pines for swords / And hills their shields
Wearing belts with Dwarf-gold buckles.
Many bags / of gold they bore.

We will see the sun shine through
Now catch the wind and fly headlong

The Tragic Ballad of Skippy McGee
There once was a sailor
Called Skippy McGee
He’d been on a ship
Since he was but three
He was skilled on the deck
And adept on the mast
No other sailor
Could climb quite as fast

No Pleasure I Sing
I cannot raise my voice in joy
Here’s why no pleasure I sing
My love said he would come with the snow
And now it’s flowering spring.

The Red Sands of Jezero
She shot up out of thunder
Now so many months ago
We listened eagerly for signals from her radio
She escaped gravity
Riding on a burst of flame
A little bitty rover with a big, big name
A little bitty rover with a big, big name.

Waiting for the Green Line
I was waiting for the green line
You came out of the blue
Screaming into the station
I was thinking of something
Making lists in my head
Watching the birds
And the dirt
and the snow instead
I wasn’t looking for you.

Entwinements (Here in the Field We Never Knew)
Here in the field we never knew
I never fell in love with you
Here in the field we never found
We buried nothing in the ground
