Fast and loose
Close to the heart
Mysterious
Leads with her chin
Deep
Ten atmospheres
The funny man
Stoic I am
Competitive
Why
Irreverent
Yes but no
Cool as can be
Desperately so
Perseverant
Grow old with me
Fast and loose
Close to the heart
Mysterious
Leads with her chin
Deep
Ten atmospheres
The funny man
Stoic I am
Competitive
Why
Irreverent
Yes but no
Cool as can be
Desperately so
Perseverant
Grow old with me
There’s a station
Radio dial
Where alls they talk of’s commitment
Magic
And me
My tiniest bites
I’ll torture him
Patience he’ll cry out
For his sake and the gods above
Oh my Congeniality
Crazy-making it will be
Cinnamoned-sugar and honey
Kicked from the table beneath
Blind to dark truth
Accuse me of such
Of reality
I do not think much
Visions with wings
My eyes focused there
Of what’s possible
My heart takes that dare
There in the square
Guide my mind
Tell
The rapid that came
How quickly it left
How it took all from your bones
With dark in your eyes
Stop my heart
Tell
Me alone
The Hollow you felt
The Spike of what heightened your cry
Your voice now evened
Quench my thirst
Tell
What fell
And its path
And all the else too, you let fall
When I walked blindly
As childhood will accomplish
My heart had Such wingsWhat delinquency
What shame to my guardian
My wayward carouse
Listen
To learn
Avoiding the urge
To run
Dwell there
To rise
Where once you struggled
To walk
Listen
To learn
Or else be pulled back
To pain
I cannot make you
Tho’ I loved, proclaimed and died
I am reconciled
Not an ounce
Not a bit
Not a lick
Of choice
I can’t run
I can’t hide
I can’t change
My voice
Far above
Far away
Far beyond
The noise
A great God
A wise man
A free soul
Employs
How has the ivory tower
Set itself up there on high
Beyond the plains
Above the mount’
Out of the reach of the sky
When will a true breath be breathed
Brimming with sanity’s sake
Down here on earth
Walking the line
Needing none magic nor quake
