Go Home Now

I walked the distance of the steps you walked lightly,
turned and shuffled
saw your night bright
sky turn out the lights.

The glowing flowing black and white burned out the weekend,
and cherry soda wasn't all
that wasn't drunk...
We touched hands, watching on and nodding off.

Don't change the channel
there's a chance I'll push the button
on the one thing that moves you
in the place I've never known.

I'm not the man who went
and brought you to a stranger,
pushed you through the open window
and started up the car.

Go home now.

Before I trust you.

I'm not the man who went and brought you to a stranger,
and I don't want to be him
so lock the door behind.

..

I follow closely owing, knowing I will see you.
A dollar in my pocket
for the bread that brought you home.

When the first thing that happens
is a wink that turns a shoulder
the best that matters is a month of oh well.

Don't change the channel
there's a chance I'll push the button
on the one thing that moves you
in the place I've never known.

I'm not the man who went
and brought you to a stranger,
pushed you through the open window
and turned out the lights.

You're home now.

And I believe you.

I'm not the man who went and brought you to a stranger,
in time you'll know
that he still sleeps next to you.

Make Your Move

Walk walk walk
the touch of your skin
and the collar of my shirt can't hold me back.

A tip of the hat, some slight of hand
and one, two, three, we're at your door.

I can't kiss you,
you're too demure too soon.

Kissey kissey doll,
your face in the moon,
a porch, a car, alone with you.

Kissey kissey doll,
make your move on me.

Talk talk talk
words on a screen
give me no indication for what I need.

I can't kiss you,
you're much too much for me.

Kissey kissey doll,
you tangle my dreams,
your hair, the wind, a single stream.

Kissey kissey doll,
make it up to me.

When the End Came

When the end came I did not dance.
The lights stayed on
and no one cried.
My name came and yours did too,
the course we took the gulf stream blew.

On your bed and in my carpet
with a stone felt breath tucked deep in our pocket
the end pressed close and the wind came down,
then nothing.

When the angel came I held her hand.
Her voice was low
and broke sometimes.
Atoms stirred in circle space,
I felt myself and I saw her face.

The dream raced on in a television hue
but the difference with her was that she wasn't you.
I know what you saw despite what you said,
yet nothing.

Touch me now the end is clear--
nothing now that nothing's here.
You think no and search for more
you'll find that I am gone
somewhere.

Touch me now the end is here--
lead me toward that angel's voice.
Burn your salt and cry my tears
in windows there
that I helped seal.

I know what you saw,
despite what you said,
yet nothing.
