Locusts Kiss (written December 2010)
(some words taken from the mouth of Milo Nickelson, a three
year old boy.)
Walking around like you don’t care
Walkin’ around in yer underwear
Heaven holds a place for two
Heaven holds a place to die
Locusts, locusts, low kiss, low low kiss, locusts
Do you want to be like this?
Do you want to be half-naked?
Do you want to be like this?
Do you want to be half-naked?
Boom Boom Porn Radio (Written November 2010)
I know you are so beautiful
You are bootie full.
Telling tales, whispering bad stories
Because you're so pretty
You’re so skinny
Bone thin, cheekbone
All bone, broken bones
I see your radio
I hear you on radio
Your songs on the radio
Where do you want to go?
Boom boom porn radio.
Fall like Leaves(Written October 2010)
We fall lecherous (tumorous)
To the ground
Like leaves to the ground
Who waits for you
To come home
4000 trees to go
5000 more and counting
6000 and home
Who calls for you
In the lecherous night
Rainfall like leaves
To the ground
Who calls for you
In the lecherous night.
Sleep-pea (Written July 2010)
Sleeping is not allowed
In this broken home
Waking is so profound
In this dirty town
And we wait
For the night.
And we wait
For the day.
Sleeping is the only thing I do.
Waking is the only thing I know.
Saturday Came To Fly (Written June 2010)
Saturday came to fly
She stood up laid and lied
Sunday flew right by
She woke up said and sighed
Come on,
Let’s go
To the end of the road.
Don’t you look at me
Don’t you speak to him like that
I’ll just go away.
Come on,
Let’s go
To the end of the road.
Cup of Fish (written May 2010)
Papa went down to the river
To find himself a cup of fish.
Went right down to the water,
Went right down to bank.
Found himself a new life.
Found himself a new wife.
What happens now you’re gone?
What happens now we’ve gone?
What happens now I’ve gone away?
Eat this fish,
Eat this lamb,
Eat my face,
Eat my head,
Eat my kid.
Dizzy (written March 2010)
She flew across the sky
She cried across the whole white night
She came from the lands you know
She cried the whole night
Who do you love?
(Not you, not you)
She came across
She went from sea
Who could it be?
Who went from?
Everybody is going somewhere
She was dizzy
She cried
She was swallowed
Good-bye, good-bye
(Who do you love? Not you, not you.)
Who?
She 1,2,3,4 (a,b,c,d)
Come to New Orleans (written December 2009)
Jacklyn, do you know that you were in my dreams last night?
We were on the highway, four birds in a fishbowl
Like tadpole, New Orleans.
Jacklyn, do you know that you were in my dreams last night?
Don’t you know we’re all ghosts?
Empty husk, crabshell, tadpole
Swilling through this town
Like murk
Lurking around like murk
Dancing around Queen Bee.
Ghosts don’t know about tomorrow.
Come to New Orleans Jacklyn.
Bear (written November 2009)
Bare your teeth, bare your smile.
Step inside your house today.
Ok, ok, ok.
Bare your teeth, bare your smile.
Step inside your house today.
Bear, you’re everywhere.
Lucy Furs (written November 2009)
Lucy is a voyeur
Watching the days go by.
Lucy is a kisser
Kissing the days good-bye.
She says everybody is wacko, wacko, wacko
She says everybody lies bored-o, bored-o, bored-o
Lucy is a beggar
Begging for the clouds in sky.
Lucy is a thief
Stealing the clouds from sky.
She says everybody is dream-o, dream-o, dream-o
She says everybody lies doggo, doggo, doggo.
Drag the Swan (written August 2009)
Coming back to your house again
Got to get away
Coming back to your house again
Got to get away
You drag the swan across the sky
You drag the sun across the sky
O your body is low
Hey your body is high heave ho.
Ghost In the Tree (written July 2009)
Summer came a ghost
Winter went outside to find you
Autumn stayed indoors to fight.
In the field she did find you
Head in the ground at night.
You fell asleep
You closed your eyes
You are a ghost.
And she carried you home.
She sees your ghost.
Lemur Boy (written February 2009)
We are animals (written by Caitlin Dunn)
And my friends are animals
We are animals (C.D.)
Fish, bird, butterfly
Seahorse, rabbit, bear (C.D.)
Lemur boy,
I’d die for you
I’d die.
When the raccoons sleep in your bed,
Kiss them good night.
Good night, good-bye.
Paper Loon (November 2008)
Sand spur me I say
We died on that dock that day
Beetle hand in beetle hand
Gummy hand in gummy hand
That day.
You filled my ears full of sand
So I couldn’t hear you
But I went down to the water
Where I washed my ears clean
And then I heard you say.
And then we died.
Where are you Lee?
I am looking for you Lee.
Oh Lee.
I only have one memory.
We’d take an owl to the lake.
Winter hung from a cocoon husk.
We had paper bags
To catch the calls of loons
And then you said to me
“Put that loon call in my belly.”
So we caught those calls
In our paper bags.
