Flashes Eight

Those who’d steal
the music
from your soul

At work I’m a
paper-pushing
people person

“The shortest distance
between two points
—is a point!”


*

Suddenly
happy for
no reason at all

The world
looks terrible
when you’re broken down

A white-haired
pink-cheeked
old lady!

*

Sometimes friends
recommend works of art
to future versions of yourself

Those who run
the world
and those who live in it

Man
that doctor
is sick!

The best way to
disempower celebrities
is to ignore them

*

Christ!
The son of God
is Humanity

Almost always
people
are bluffing

Each day is a spell,
a chime
in a churning universe

Sister Sister

Sister sister here comes the night
We can fight it with all of our might
We’ll still lose
Some things you can’t choose

Stars almost whisper from their places on high
The moon is shining like dazzling eye
A cool jewel
I’m a happy fool with you

I love this leaping lifting up my life
A single simple sigh
Both of us breathing here beneath the sky
It’s all right

If we’re kissing an our lives leap like light
We’ll know this moment like a shimmering chime
And we’ll fly
Riding on a rhyme

Sister sister this is our time
A glowing poem in an ocean of night
A design
Tying your life’s light to mine

I love this leaping lifting up my life
A single simple sigh
Both of us breathing here beneath the sky
It’s all right

Oh you know we’re both strangers in this world
Oh you know we’re both strangers in this world
Oh you know we’re both strangers in this world
But you know
Now it doesn’t seem so cold

Got To Go

So many places I don’t want to be
So many faces I don’t want to see

I wish that I could be a spirit
Floating in the sky
Listening to the wind whisper advice

Wither in water and burn in the air
Cough in the fog like I'm murmuring prayers

Wishing I could be a spirit
Floating in the sky
Listening to the wind whisper advice

Oh you’d better know
Something’s gonna find you out
You know you’ve got to go
But you can’t find your way out

When you’re feeling low
You know there’s always further down
A gravity below
Tugging from the underground

We’ve heard it before and we’ll hear it again
We’ve all got to go but we’ll never know when

We will fill the air as spirits
Floating in the sky
Swimming in the winds of paradise

You have always known
Something’s gonna hunt you down
A gravity below
Tugging from the underground

All that you’ve been shown
Is all that you have come to doubt
You know you’ve got to go
But you know there’s no way out
