One Again 05:20
Culture is closing in, lives in our heads Feeding us Babylon keeps us fed Everything’s dust in the moonlight & scattered breadcrumbs Ashes to ashes to raindrops to romance we become one again Mother and father now the bridge for my soul Came down from outer space, in pieces I become whole Brothers & sisters in spirals, in spirals of magic Time is the silence of secrets it keeps us spiraling & frantic But I’ve seen the final figure, the formless dragon With faces that once seemed familiar, Scattered they become one again. Straining to see past the wasteland to rainbows & godhead Trying to breathe in a vacuum what will wake us up again? Straining to listen to secrets, a silence pregnant Mother & father conceive me, bound in dependence we become one again.

Indigo Souls 04:19
i was a memory in my eyes drippin from ceilings of cavern miles sad in the country, sad in the towns sad with the memory i had found when you read my poem sad to be around we're young but we feel old indigo souls in a runaround painted a rainbow in the sky made it a memory stars came a fallin from a long dark road we'd paved with our foreheads years ago saw me in a vision late last night you dreamt of your monkey in a hall of souls the king black panther tried to claw your arm you saw me as a memory strangle myself arise from the ashes with rainbow wings a new diamond skeleton, and newborn flesh search in my body for the man you knew you'll never see him

I woke up and I held your hand And I wanted to suffer. Took a lonely walk our my front door Tried to tread a bit softer. Lit a light in my head, lit a cigarette Such a gorgeous autumn. Decided then just to shake my head And call upon you, Spirit. Hear me, Love, I call for You No rewards I’ll be needing. See my hands, I’m groping, yea Wounded in Life’s shadows of loving You. Misery leave your song before The Son’s green altar Happily I sing to thee What songs I’ve borrowed. & I would love You & call you friend & never grow weary Holy One, lend a hand to me, for I walk nearer. In the light of the secret sky, Where are You now, where are You Dearest? Sickness reigns on the ground, in the caves The tomb opens up, Darling I love You. O for the joy I can barely see You are my wine, You are my sorrow Out in Your heart, it’s a beacon shining Mother of God, cradle your Child. Bethlehem by starlight watches Holy Newborn grab for His Mother Each new day gone by slower ‘Til time is slowed down from its crooked beating.
