Amber Piece 03:45
come on now, take my hand I'll take you round the riverbend where the sun never sets and the moon reigns high courtship of another kind who do you think you are/ wayward well wisher I'm the light from a dead star/ do you stray very far? do you see what's left of me/ I don't believe in destiny we're mutual, inaccessibly insects in one amber piece what hasn't happened, you want to know why, oh why you gave it so many true, ultimately useless tries, most tries life seems to finally kick in, only to dim and die, most die yet neither you nor I come on now, once again...

Ice Pond 03:55
found an ice pond and broke in I was looking for something wound up half froze and bloated only dredged out come spring hauled myself out and spoke through stagnant water again, I said so soon I fall sick again said it alone because everyone knows it's necessary for the ill to stay away but go on and ignore it, I might it's happened before, and I really want to see you tonight now a distant situation told you it's not contagious distracted by the shadow cast of your hand to your lips wonder if you could see of this you avert your gaze, I drift away indoors between dry walls red room's floor that recalls of a mercury ocean sudden nausea's return again, I said ... but try to ignore it, if I look a fright it does happen so often, and I wanted to see you tonight

Idle Times 01:05
time rusting away, joy running away sliding down through water, running down or squandered your idle times passed you by you missed your chance, it has lapsed...

Heedless 02:03
I clear where I've sought to lie, as if searching for water by the bedside reaching, slow sweeping with my fingertips

Old June 02:51
a very dark afternoon, deep green & dim like an old june one doesn't quite walk so much as swim in the sweet humidity and simmered heat it was like the roses were boiled lilies-of-the-valley melting all dripping clear oil yet lavender dries to moulting collects on my veil gets so faded when sunlight's curtailed by these trees' occulting and the season's tilting I hear breathing lilting there's some girl in the garden exhaling through air of alcoholic perfume look how this hyacinth's uncommonly pale but astilbe's gone too far the dew is wet and stale rotting not wilting but hydrangea go frail and broken frame the trail honeysuckle's nectar sticking I lay down on the soil and scrape out my nails daisy chains have failed, too soft they've all been splitting

In Stead 05:39
onset latent reflection blatant some psychic reverie, delayed memory I had bought you a smokey pearl choker I had thought your shoulder would be even colder so I brought you a stole sewn with silver thread... strewn about go through it's not untrue another turn of the screw trade your blessings for the dark mirror ceiling below where I lie in repose on my waterbed
