Mother’s Milk
Burmese canvas made of glass
your body smooth as silk
silhouettes chained to the past
may I taste your Mother’s Milk
Inland fires sweep the ash
though ocean floods may come
each wave that finds its way to shore
gives life then to its young

Silver Rush
Candy Sunset and Pink Windows
cream colored princess
with the strawberry hair
up the wall and off the road
When you come down from the Silver Rush,
Will you be my friend when I’m having my heart attack, heart attack?
Will you be my friend when I’m adopting my character, character?
Gideon of the sun?
Sixteen tons of leather
isotopes and broken weather
“goodnight, I’ll be seeing you”
a lit cigarette bled dry with the manta ray

Origami
I move right along
you done made my shoulder sore
well, I fired off my pistol
I’ll go to jail
so long
Tell me momma
tell all me late afternoon
Tell me momma
Lord, tell me late afternoon
well I go off in that long dress
Lord, better tell me soon
Oh why don’t you tell me
what is wrong with you?
Oh I’ll tell it
won’t you bring your love
running out in the sea
your love’s on the plane above
Headlights
see them, see them breech
I won’t pray it
I won’t even preach
Won’t you preach your love?
Won’t you preach your heart to me?
Don’t you preach no harmony
no, I want something to believe

Big Balloon
I’ll tell you what we’re gonna do
there’s something here for me and you
Stony river of the golden calf
you come riding up upon his back
And the moon is just a big balloon
hanging in a life that ends too soon

The Underground
I met a girl from the underground
you’re showing me you don’t deserve me
the appropriate monkey face
with elaborate face expressions
alert for the runaways
Malibu ‘77
Where strippers sleep and I can’t eat and you’re so fucking vicious
freeze like movements the emotional void
it looks so streaked and muddy
a lightning spire fifty-six miles
lodged in the windshield
the priest was just a common thug
another ballet documentary
In the faun’s afternoon with the Chinese conjuror,
Nijinsky could not tell you lies to change your definition
The rare old whale mid storm and gale in his ocean home will be
fly too high the streets are gold
the crowd is the ugliest cut
a giant in might where might is right
altering my biochemistry
Mass exodus seven hundred miles
bring in the consultants
victims of proof and falling in sex
and music works now in civil suits
Mirabile Mysterium
the truce it is so fragile
love can be bought and sold
oblivion is lamentation
oblivion’s lamentation
Send me a satellite, my sweet love
to shake these flowers from their trees

The White Horse
When I rode that white horse
white horse he rode me down
When I rode that white horse
white horse he rode me down
I saw that trail of broken lights
bad blood was coming down
Got your water, flash and brighter
honey got to move yourself
Got your water, flash and brighter
honey got to move yourself
Have mercy on your weakness
can’t help nobody else

Jet Strip Girls
White Bitch
She got a comic book ring
You got a comic book ring
I spy crazy mixed up you
what’s in the box?
A butterfly collection?
So long with the Airplane Blues
it’s gonna drag you across the river
I’ve been sitting here for days
staring at the curtains
more orange than red
Stairs so steep you have to
walk them backwards
just to get down
You gotta go man, go

Rhinestone
Rhinestone jungle
let’s pretend that it’s paradise
starlight student
I bet it tastes twice as nice
Plucked from the cherry myth
convalescence in and out of style
we must pass into magic
I’ll bet you’ll be gone awhile

Thermostat
A girl out on the sidewalk she was crying in the sun
with the bleeding ghost of Max Baer
when came down the Queen Of Scum
licking dirty tables with her urban warfare tongue
I want to wash all the love right out of my hair
she want to spit on the ground it lands everywhere
You want to be remembered electric?
When the sun it don’t shine?
The spin is eclectic
no more Universal Mind
Woke up Sunday night
black haired girl she smelled so sweet
for explosions in your minds eye and the people that we met
the ones that point at targets, so precise and so direct

Chandaliers
How much time do you want?
How much?
I see crystal chandaliers and fires burning low
experience induced by ritual, my eyes as black as coal
Into the womb, into the jungle
where the lions mane is white as snow
all spaced out in a primitive life,
there’s no other place to go
Positive Acid
Bad love gone forward
Negative Acid
Good love gone backward
Up and up and up you go
How much time do you want?

The Golddust Mannequins Los Angeles, California
A cloudy Sunday in early Fall. You're laying on a hammock watching the leaves cling to the trees with varying degrees of success. Equal parts lackadaisical drifting relaxation and the existential dread of Winter's loom. A modern take on early Bowie mixed with Meddle era Pink Floyd, and maybe a bit of the vibe of Apples In Stereo with just a hint of darkness. ... more
