TIGER

Symmetrical stripes we have, yours and mine
Though my left ear more dark
And your left hand more bright

Our eyes both have the highlights of hope
To the left of your nose a freckle all your own
Matching the one on my chin

Yes my wings are muted 
While yours bear what color
We wear the same bold heart within

Bound

Cottontail Cottontail 
Just where are you off to
I’m the leader of the pack of one
Who will track you

Darting from the underbrush 
What did you have to fear
Stroked my curiosity 
To learn what your ears hear

Now the journey’s on my sweet
Give chase to my sinew 
Your re-fu-sal for fits and starts
Sets my re-solve anew

Artful

Our skin
Isn’t covered up yet 

Our reason 
We stir early 
Rush to the light
And offer up proof we made it
Another night
Isn’t written 
Over
Yet

But soon
For it’s almost
September 

Froth

Were my hands not
Coated in blue and rubber
Covered in the grime and froth of you
I’d slip beyond 
My aching heart muscle
My pulsating hope muscle
Press pause
Scream your name
Liar
Stranger
Then skip to the next song
