Six Moons

you stood there right in front of me
like destiny
or maybe a portent of that death at 28 i dreamed
dilated and clean
into the mirror
on mushrooms
they say don’t look at your face
but i did it anyway
who was i kidding
i wasn’t ready
for you
you stood there right in front of me
with my naivety, spilling
held to the light, a sad brass melody ran down my cheeks
i was singing to you
shadow diving deep
into the mirror
dirty bathroom
i could barely see my face
but i kept staring anyway
yeah who was i kidding
i wasn’t ready
for you
you stood there right in front of me
like an acid dream
this time there were six moons and five of them began to gleam
one stayed dark and lost
i think it’ll always be
and in the mirror
where our eyes bloom
i said don’t look at my face
but you saw me anyway
man who was i kidding
i wasn’t ready
for you

Wishing Well
03:47
|

every mirror
even rearview
i gaze into
wishing well for you
tryna find me
every time i
look away it’s
a hard reset
please
so i’ve arrived now
at this hotel lounge
i eat meat beyond my means
until my stomach sours
all these people
they got money
buncha real deals
and i wanna spit in the flowers
there’s a bar fly
he’s got my name on him
i got his eyes on me
he wanna take me home
in my mind’s eye
i watch him chew me up
i watch me spit you out
oh no no no
i gotta go
you chased me down there
for a good twenty miles
back in charleston
man i was just passing through
but i remembered
that night we were laughing in bed
and i realized this will all end
i squeezed your hand til it burned red
now i’m just trying not to see my grave in every goddamn mile ahead
so tell me how now
did we get here
to this place where
we don’t dance no more
i can’t see straight
i been driving too long
i need space now
but once
we had a home
we had a home
and i said “I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I”

my love
if you ever take the train down to the city
sit by the water
watch how the electric lines dance as the car glides
that’s how i feel for you
my love
if you ever take the train down to Poughkeepsie
sit by the water
watch how the electric lines dance as the car glides
that’s how i feel for you
that’s how I feel for you
my love
if you ever take the train down to the city
sit by the water
watch how the electric lines dance as the car glides
that’s how i feel for you
that’s how i feel
for you.
