burned
some
black
candles
washed
that
negativity
right
out
of
my
hair

the
dew
woke
me
I
sat
up
with
her
silence
her
dark
oh
lonesome
me

I
smoked
some
marijuana
and
looked
at
the
moon
and
looked
at
the
moon

I
wonder
what
they
did
on
his
birthday
does
he
sing
to
her
his
songs

night
winding
through
the
rose
bushes
scratching
at
the
window
winter
come

the
ghosts
I
left
behind
have
come
back
this’s
the
winter
I
keep
them
warm

I’m
just
trying
to
come
up
with
something
that
resembles
a
poem

with
a
picture
of
my
great
grandmother
I
search
for
my
face
in
hers

handsome
boy
walking
down
the
street
in
denim
and
wool
denim
and
wool

the
squirrels
are
so
happy
for
nesting
little
nesting
squirrels
on
parade

I
have
scaled
these
city
walls
these
city
walls
only
to
be
with
you

sometimes
it’s
hard
to
be
a
woman
giving
all
your
love
to
just
one
man

to
dwellers
in
a
wood
almost
every
species
of

has
its
voice

the
little
pink
and
orange
pigtailed
girl
that
drives
the
big
truck
past
my
house

at
the
ofrenda
his
candle
burned
quicker
than
the
rest
it
figured

johnathan
richman’ll
sing
to
us
we’ll
make
salmon
and
pet
the
kitties

I
just
called
to
say
I
love
you
I
just
called
to
say
how
much
I
care

- stevie wonder

he
has
a
kind
heart
that
no
one
has
access
to
no
not
even
he

we
ran
to
the
fog
trying
so
hard
to
hold
it
but
you
can’t
hold
clouds

I
lost
my
heart
under
the
bridge
to
that
little
girl
so
much
to
me

- pj harvey

watching
hotel
tv
not
making
love
to
you
in
this
king
size
bed

taking
lessons
from
my
cat
with
the
rain
at
my
back
the
grey
grey
me

he
had
a
mean
guitar
she
had
a
sad
voice
I
had
a
good
long
drive

all
nerves
and
on
the
edge
all
balled
up
inside
and
on
the
outside
too

I
took
communion
today
not
just
another
day
a
day
for
goodbyes

he’s
a
quiet
french
canadian
living
when
he
doesn’t
want
to

a
winding
mountain
road
my
grandfather
driving
my
grandmother
smiling

I
can’t
have
lost
my
magic
she
thought
I
come
from
a
long
line
of
witches

she
never
cuts
through
the
grass
to
get
home
she
always
uses
the
path

give
us
any
chance
we’ll
take
it
read
us
any
rule
we’ll
break
it

oh
girl
dancing
down
those
dirty
and
dusty
trails
take
it
hip

I
hope
they
remember
me
singing
and
you
say
that
you
love

fall

intermittent
musical
intervals
glittering
up
the
world

the
moon
is
ripe
under
the
sun’s
set
prepping
for
opening
curtain

unconditional
love’s
not
being
able
to
live
without
that
love

I
know
she’s
my
friend
because
when
we
talk
we
laugh
laugh
just
always
laugh

I
feel
as
cold
as
that
rose
feels
glowing
sun
clothed
in
that
autumn
dew

because
we
can’t
go
back
and
claim
what’s
lost
because
the

poems
are
good
luck
the

itself
she
lays
her
womanness
down

not

she
wasn’t

who
cares
that
it
is
shining
who
cares
what
it
does
since
you
broke

heart

cool

hot

baby
you’re
a
complicated
baby
so
gone

and
suddenly
I
remembered
you
if
only
I’d
forget
again

my
cat
and
I
sit
on
the
porch
and
watch
all
the
moving
things
pass
by

that
hour
when
the
bugs
are
still
sleeping
the
morning
is
deliberate

I
give
my
man
what
he
wants
not
because
he’s
a
man
‘cause
he’s
my
man

he
gave
her
a
long
once
over
a
long
one
and
with
that
he
knew
her

I
couldn’t
run
fast
enough
or
far
enough
I
was
always
right
there

oh
but
I
would
not
feel
so
all
alone
everybody
must
get
stoned

her

these
days
lovely
day
perfect
day
crushing
and
manhandling
my
heart

it
was
one
of
those
parties
where
I
didn’t
feel
nearly
northwest
enough

at
night
in
the
shadows
of
our
room
he’s
large
my
andré

at
night
in

I
pretend
you’re

I
hold
onto

had
nothing

with

-dashiell hammett

I
was
working
as
a
waitress
in
a
cocktail
bar
that
much
is
true

-the human league

the
morning
after
he
called
me
his
poetess
his
hand
on
my
hair

a
cold
soft
heavy
set
in
on
my
heart
today
welcome
home
autumn

a
dark
haired
dark
eyed
man
works
on
a
motorcycle
in
his
driveway

you
kissed
me
today
and
your
eyes
softened
I
saw
you
grateful
open

her
movements
were
fascinating
her
thoughts
foreign
to
me
my
daughter

she
carries
the
weight
in
her
eyes
like
a
halo
shadowing
her
mind

I
sat
up
with
the
candles
most
the
night
she’s
gotta
walk
this
alone

he
don’t
care
for
easy
street
but
easy
street
that’s
where
I
wanna
be

I
love
you
best
at
sunrise
in
the
orange
light
before
everything
starts

it’s
like
extracting
precious
stones
from
the
earth
not
diamonds
more
precious

oh
mountain
mother
he
said
you
don’t
suffer
fools
gladly
and
I
don’t

garish
mellow

nightmares
be
fresh
oh

I
rock
and
roll

VHI
1989
soundtrack
for
getting
ready
for
school

it
was
sticky
hard
to
separate
there
but
not
clearly
visible

is
it
september
already
what
is
time
where
does
yesterday
go

the
mailman
maybe
not
my
particular
mailman
but
the
mailman

the
music
opened
me
up
like
seeing
trees
for
the
first
time
ever

I’m
a
sucker
for
the
vinyl
and
sounds
of
the
grinder
the
laughter

I
don’t
want
to
just
mouth
the
words
I
want
to
drip
them
stir
loins
with
them

tonight
as
you
drift
off
to
sleep
let
me
be
the
fairy
tale
you
hear

I
would
fight
to
keep
him
but
I
wondered
if
he
would
fight
to
keep
me

she
had
wilting
kale
she
was
avoiding
I
too
had
wilting
kale

your
face
and
I
think
I
couldn’t
love
you
more
but
there’s
always
tomorrow

we
sway
against
and
with
the
rhythms
of
the
earth
the
winds
our
wild
world

I
put
on
my
headphones
turned
up
incesticide
and
skipped
all
the
way
home

I
try
to
remember
what
your
face
looked
like
when
you
left
this
morning

I
have
a
grey
hair
I
adore
I
try
to
showcase
it
when
I
can

my
heart
marinated
in
the
early
nineties
soul
poems
slow
cooked

she
drains
the
hopper
like
a
pro
tuning
out
the
pain
in
his
voice

what
you
want
baby
I
got
it
what
you
need
do
you
know
I
got
it

- aretha franklin

I
wanted
to
sleep
in
your
beard
sleep
forever
in
your
bed
of
beard

the
man
fished
the
cardboard
out
of
the
trash
and
thus
built
himself
a
home

the
day
was
made
so
with
the
help
of
the
marigold
and
the
bean
moths

there
I
was
atop
that
plateau
I
so
feared
standing
on
the
low
high

who
was
your
pivotal
band
the
one
that
changed
your
young
life
forever

I
would
like
to
thank
you
sweet
man
for
showing
me
there's
sparkle
out
there

my
wizard
of
the
pines
the
river
you
did
to
me
what
you
do
well

winking
the
universe
says
looks
like
you
could
use
a
midlife
crisis

carry
me
back
carry
me
back
carry
me
back
baby
where
I
come
from
