i can feel the miles
move me from where i've been
i feel the sacredness of winter
the magic of ice
the softness of snow
the sparkle, the glitter
dancing light like stars
and the ships in the harbor at night
i devour the flesh my pillow
the warm hands
the laughter
the kind eyes
the silliness
this too shall pass

i remember you
i remember you
i remember hugging in my kitchen, your kitchen
i remember talking to you in the early morning
late late in the night
under a big fat orange moon
i remember you
we were swimming in the quarry
in the dark, naked
i remember us walking down the chilly willy
NYC streets, talking talking, smoke breathing, talking
i remember watching you so many times
melting into the sight of your sleep
i remember hurting
i remember holding you through the night
kissing you awake
crawling just like i wanted to
wrapped up inside
i remember calling you
darkness, floors, so far in there, out there
i remember that kiss goodbye always
i remember holding your hand
i remember the lupine smell of my room
on my island by the sea
you there with me
i remember that street light on and off
wild bicycle afro, getting caught
i remember and forget again and again
i remember your smell all over my skin
i remember your eyes and each inch of your skin
and the fucking mess you left me in
i hear you say my name
yes, i remember you my love
oh my love, how i so miss.

shape of your lips
and so
i may still find my focus all tranced
into the shape of your lips
when you tell me those things
words you strain to find to say
and i have wanted for so long to hear
you can't quite say, don't quite have
and still i can not separate my gaze
from your lips, i become fingertips
and yes i do recall that sick and tired
of your nothing, shifting eyes
and always nowhere alibis
but alas no more
love do i cry
oh again again goodbye
these years, this lie
and i don't know why
i am still here
still here again
with you my friend
pouring out all of our remember whens
hazy reoccurring dream
sprung from a warmth in my belly
that made me sick so many times
but it creeps back in to my surprise
no matter how many goodbyes
can't know why
i may still find my focus all tranced
into the shape of your lips
when you tell me those things
words you strain to find to say

May Queen
and so here in our kitchen of butterfly kisses
and crushes and broken heart
i am feathers, pretty, dear,
so dear, you know that i adore you
you all bubbles floating always to the great big sky
oh the feathers of your wings tickle my fancy
in my dreams, so sweet, in my dreams
be love, have love, all love,
and the ache and want to dissipate
in a place so hidden in the heart
these dreams, these words, and still this place
together again, and these questions, this desire
and you can do just whatever it is you like
please, please, she says
oh if i had words to make so beautiful
always always for you
thank you for this beautiful sunday so dear
sugarcubes sweet stop the growl in my belly
so we sing and dance here in this kitchen always
chain of flowers for your curls, majesty
may crowning of me to thee
smoking ceegars, eating lobster
here on a pink cloud fit for the easter bunny
magic we are
mystery passage
into a ritual religion
sleepy again
my love
my queen
and crushes and broken heart
i am feathers, pretty, dear,
so dear, you know that i adore you
you all bubbles floating always to the great big sky
oh the feathers of your wings tickle my fancy
in my dreams, so sweet, in my dreams
be love, have love, all love,
and the ache and want to dissipate
in a place so hidden in the heart
these dreams, these words, and still this place
together again, and these questions, this desire
and you can do just whatever it is you like
please, please, she says
oh if i had words to make so beautiful
always always for you
thank you for this beautiful sunday so dear
sugarcubes sweet stop the growl in my belly
so we sing and dance here in this kitchen always
chain of flowers for your curls, majesty
may crowning of me to thee
smoking ceegars, eating lobster
here on a pink cloud fit for the easter bunny
magic we are
mystery passage
into a ritual religion
sleepy again
my love
my queen
again a fool
you are already
leading me back
to the buzzing insanity
that hovers below my shell
around my core
i need to ignore you now
for a few thousand years
until i make better sense
of the emotional outbursts
that are hiding in my hedges
you tease this heart of mine
that is perched on tiptoes
knees bent
back ready to arch
arms to fly backwards
into the cool green
into the hot pink
and my body is uneasy
because my brain is fighting my heart
it exhausts my soul, these distractions
you are way too lucky
and i again a fool
leading me back
to the buzzing insanity
that hovers below my shell
around my core
i need to ignore you now
for a few thousand years
until i make better sense
of the emotional outbursts
that are hiding in my hedges
you tease this heart of mine
that is perched on tiptoes
knees bent
back ready to arch
arms to fly backwards
into the cool green
into the hot pink
and my body is uneasy
because my brain is fighting my heart
it exhausts my soul, these distractions
you are way too lucky
and i again a fool
Alice
Little elves they share the secret
with pixies scatter magic dust
all amongst the mushrooms feasting
dreaming always, for dream we must
So tells the caterpillar
through magic rings of smoke
these the clouds that hold our minds
and so to her I am thrust
And she grows taller, smaller then
and always a baby in the palm of my head
and she knows change, and she knows time
oh Alice wonder with those eyes so wild
Oh now Alice play my dear
and always ever after
as you dance away child to the great beyond
may you always go with laughter
And laugh some more love, through your soul
you make this magic last,
and you can do, oh you can do
you hold the key to every door
It's in your heart, your soul, your mind
it is everything and more
So grows the caterpillar to a butterfly to the sky
oh you child, spread your wings my dear
and always fly so high
All of our treasures somehow change
right there before our eyes
for this the way the spider spins
the web that is our time
So always feel that wonder
let it open up your eyes
you wake up child, and live your dreams
never weary, never tired
and never ever be afraid
know and trust, behold the stars
be always true and kind and just
Believe in magic, in Cupid's arrow
in pixie's fairy dust
Be guided by the songs of birds
and creatures of the dark
and the light of fireflies
and by lightning's wild spark
Believe the song your mother sings
to her most precious one
You sing your own child
shout it out to the sun above
and the world around
to run through every river,
and float on every cloud,
to crash in ocean's waves
and as the thunder rolling through
the storms upon our days
And Alice, always be aware
of the grinning cheshire cat
So befriend all those that cross your path
especially the black
Make a cradle for baby birds
fallen from their nest
Cover the earth with flowers
Weave yourself a little crown
Believe in daisy's lovesongs
so many to be found
Listen to the ocean's tale
and learn from it my dear
unturn a stone to say hello
to salamanders living there
Run barefoot child
through all the fields
and beaches of your life
May you buzz as a bee
the world for you
a garden of sweetest delights
And when the Queen demands to know
exactly who you are
Don't lose your head child
for this you know
and simply will reply
I am Alice
I am sunshine
I am waves in ocean wild
I am Alice
I am moonshine
I am the star you wish upon
I am Alice
I am a flower growing
strong into the sky
I am a smile, a kiss
the sparkle in an eye
I am Alice
I am your sweetest dreams
that come true in their time
I am Alice
I am eyes that wonder
I am the knowing heart
I am drops of rain
and wind that stirs
the soul of everything
I am the very song that your own heart
can not forget to sing
I am Alice
I am butterflies
an angel in disguise
I am your laughter
and your tears
I am hope and love
and peace and light
I am the break of morning
and the quiet of the night
I am that land of wonder,
golden ticket, giant peach
I am the ache inside you
and the chances that you take
I am the very magic of pixies
the secret of elves beneath setting sun
I am Alice
I am Alice
I am mama's precious one
with pixies scatter magic dust
all amongst the mushrooms feasting
dreaming always, for dream we must
So tells the caterpillar
through magic rings of smoke
these the clouds that hold our minds
and so to her I am thrust
And she grows taller, smaller then
and always a baby in the palm of my head
