Hollyhocking

Hollyhocking while we’re walking
While we’re walking, eager talking
(ooh philosophy)
Eager talking, Stephen Hawking
(ohhh physics)
Stephen Hawking, sidewalk chalking
In the park the kids are playing
(I can hear them laughing)
Kids are playing, you were saying
(I didn’t hear that)
You were saying “Happy Daying!”
(happy daying, happy daying)
Happy daying, fountain spraying
Happy afternoon, me and you!
Down the street two dogs are barking
Dogs are barking, birds are larking
Birds are larking, we are sparking
(Oh electricity!)
I am sparking, you are sparking
(Oh electricity!)
We are sparking, we are sparking
(Oh electricity!)
Hollyhocking while we’re walking

Memory This

I dreamed our baby died
Did you say you’re feeling nothing
Behind your good boy mask
You always were the best
The pulse inside my wrist
I know what I’m doing is futureless
I ask myself to suffer
I lie down to be your lover
Rock
Water
Sun
Kiss
Eyes
Autumn
Memory
This
I dreamed we’d never die
A swingset, a stream, a forest
Children you and I
A treehouse down by the river
We’d play beneath the sun
We’d play between the shadows
Today the game is hide and seek
Tomorrow we’ll play make believe
Rock
Water
Sun Kiss
Eyes
Autumn
Memory
This
I know what I’m doing…
This autumn, kiss water

Movie

Don’t turn this into a movie
There’s a trailer up on the screen
Picture of you then a picture of me
When we’re children
In the movie
You would run through the backyard
I would be hiding behind the garage
And it’s raining
In the movie
You’re making drawings for all of the frames
I am unthreading the hem of my jeans
And you’re glowing
In the movie
Don’t turn this into a movie

Crocus

White glowing petals
Yellow stamen
Imagine pollen
Now tomorrow
Dizzy daylight
Brighter morning
Not yet raining
Not yet raining
Winter left us
Winter left us
Purple now and yellow
Sun is warming
New spring greening
Growth, bright and shocking
Gray leaves are still rotting
There is no winter here
There is no winter here

Childhood
02:45

I left my childhood in the color green
The deep backyard
The wind unseen
I trace my fingers on a winter scene
The ice I break is sharp and clean
I wonder when it snows
How winter knows
The things I chose
The cold inside me grows
The white moon glows
A tempest blows
I left my lover in the color blue
He said he cared
It wasn’t true
I search the weeping clouds for any clue
This lightning flash is something new
I wonder when it rains
On windowpanes
Or speeding trains
How water’s fall explains
The deeper stains
That line my veins
