Falling Awake

If you'd like to see a performance of this piece go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xf7NIpdkTA

Dark and drowsey,

     a lone and lustful

     finger traces places

     your silhouette lingered.

From arm to chest

     to n*****s ring.

From navel to

     waist to thigh.

Deep breathing.

Eyes closeing

Tumble. I stumble.

I fall awake

Down jagged rock,

     jabbing thistle sting.

Over bruseing bramble,

     through stone wall.

I fall over

headoverheals

overdreamover

     still down

down a long ways

down and lonely as always

as ever after fear

of love is gone

"daddy gone

the love is"    red robin

red robin you

                    come catching

                    come keeping

                    come

red robin

sing new-song-spring.

Winters tune a tired

     back alley mattress.

Tear-tred thoughts ever

     ticking time

     it takes

     (no time at all)

     time it takes to fall.

Red robin running come

     comeing catching me

     falling before a

     grey faced

 

!beepbeepbeep!

!beepbeepbeep!

You know, this is amazing in the way I don't understand it all...yet, the passion, the longing, the importance of the words you are putting out there....rings clear. And I don't care that I don't completely get it all.

I wish everyone on here could see you perform it. I hope they all check out your myspace link so they can see what I mean.

it's a rush, a wheel-go-round, a turvy-turned tide, a hot-rod-i-ness ride, upside and downside, a never stop glide...you keep it going and never let go...i like it, i like it a lot...i like 'em all
