Superanima

Saw you smile in the therapist's wake
While you make your amends
Still I make the mistake
With a pile of unanswered laments
Sent each day after ten
"Come see me again"
You'd deconstruct my garden gate
And I'd offer a lap and a light
When we were just two vagrant waifs passing through the night
Superior mama needs a man with a real super anima
A madonnafied interior
That lab rat's kissing cats
And now I'm so alone
I want to drag you down to the dirt
We could roll like the old days
Arrayed and anew
In an encore of youth
How could you forswear the refrain?
"Better not to fade out
But to burn away"
I miss you more than words can say
But some day you'll be free
From the cult of re-uptake inhibition
And three letter therapies
You ought to blow it all
Like a know-it-all 22 year old
I don't know what you've taken baby
I know you've had a lot
I don't know what you've taken
You take a lot

She dreams in green screen
Immaculate scenes of wonder baptize her gloom;
Soothing her ennui is my only means of comfort
She’s the graphite ploughing through the snowstorm of my mind
And I trace the line
Floating round like a soul sucked from a cadaver
And I fail to keep up
Is my love not enough?
I’m in retreat from the terrible news;
I return, and then I become a tourist in my youth
When I’m sick again
I fashion an idol of time idly spent in my prime
A static line alights from an ether
Malformed elegance seeps to a sweet haze
I’ve made my friends for now
They’re the ghosts in every town where I’ve spent better days
I want to give myself away
I lost you long ago
“I’ll be okay”, you said
As winds of twilight threw you to the waves
I fear in these years of solitude I’ve become you
Mon amour fou
Pearl left a fig-leaf from heaven,
But I concealed it
In 2013 holy water ran from her mouth;
Pure moonlit saliva
Now it’s stale
I adjourned swiftly; she’s no concern
I may be lost, but I’m sweet to my muse
Worry not, and I will soon find my place with balloons and Valium
You’ll look in my pumpkin eyes
My memory’s amortized
Two mirrors in a dome form a freeway
Slinging unknowable things into deep space
I knew you deeply
Though faded and worn
Your features still puncture my every thought
Echoes of sweetness take hold in my heart
And I’m nothing but an echo of something now passed

The Water Beckons

The water beckoned me on 9/9/09
My first approximation of self fully defined
The second retched with thirst
For the oblique, sublime taste of manic spray
Above the cresting waves
The water beckons me whenever I'm bayside
"Come in and take a sip
Come on and take a dive"
The water's listening whenever I sigh
So I'll never stray a hair's breadth from the sea
The water beckons me
All this to feel a twitch of singed synapses
A decade and change removed
Quotidian respite
All this for something more
To turn to nothing much
All this for a bleak epitaph that reads
"The water beckoned"
The water beckons me
