call me that

call me
silly
call me baby
call me
lover
say you love me
spell hunny funny
call me that

celebration funeral

don't have your matches
anymore
don't have you knocking at my door

got clean laundry
my own place
my own bed
thinking with

ha
my own head
of course
you're calling
calling
calling

you're making exceptions
deceptions
headed to
wedding receptions

with the old gang
we'll all be dancing
drinking
dancing

the night away
the past back in
the future on

drinking
and
dancing

Mother hen

Mother hen,
I'm going to eat

your children


Mother hen,

I'm not after you,
I'm after them


Mother hen,

I'm going to smash
your baby girl
right here on this dirt floor

I don't care

over, done, end

I'm listening to that
cd I made
Valentine's day

I loved you more,
nothing wrong with that,
I suppose

It's over now
and you think
in the morning
we'll wake up renewed

only you

I'm over, done
look what we've become
a nothing
a greedy fish
in a too forgiving pond

well, honey,
I've dried up

you'll breathe it
feel it
soon enough

you expect too much
but hour
after hour
I will not kill myself
for you any longer

don't ride that plane,
baby, have no shame,
sleeping outside some other girl's door.

Post

Post Katrina,
she said no one expects me to know
and I don't need to try

but hurricanes swirl in my eyes
Post Love
Post Everything

I can imagine
all the crying Buddhas
all the floating Buddhas

I imagine
it must be
like your lover dying
late at night
before you kissed
her
on the cheek

Gone

your t-shirt
has lost its smell

like the closets
when Paul died

Remember the time

I remember the time
I dug underneath
your eyelids
and felt your
sockets
so sweet
while you molested
me

End Cycle

The beginning
of the end
How fragile love is!

And loving too much
too hard
how deep is my navel scar!

Soul Mates, haha

It's funny
because
I don't want the chance
to find a different you
no motivation to

and maybe if
some girl out there
could make me laugh louder
cry softer
I wish her well

Hope she shares her gift
with someone who needs it
but me,
I'm just fine
even better
laughing with you
crying for you
calling you

soul mate
even if it's not true
I'm happy to
assume it's you

Why ask for more
than loving you?
