Photos I Never Took
02:56

Memory is a grainy void
Captured in a polaroid
Hesitating even then
Waiting ’til we’d speak again
Coffee cups hid our wine
Stars existed to align
We carried on so humbly
Looking back I know we both looked lovely
Unknowingly
I would be remiss
To forget your kiss
Right outside your front door,
And the Bordeaux skirt you wore
Books lying on my shelf
Remind me of a former self
You drew your face in graphite lines
I read both like fading neon signs
Once we took a local train
To see a show, despite the rain
I saved a setlist, (but in lieu)
Of a picture I’d meant to keep of you
To keep, to keep of you

Just Kidding

My whole self sinks
When I think of you next year
My insides pressed or threaded
Subject to the sheer
Tension and stretches
Of the driest kind of snow
Davenports and beds
Endings we’ll never know
There’s a pine scented peace
In ash and week-long drives
Wound but hardly wounded
Under the glossiest of skies
Greyscale Madison
Screened before my eyes
Five years made mineral
Your glasses and granite gaze
Abates and my grounding slips
With time
On the dry kind of snow
We stomach loss and shoulder pain
Bargain with ourselves
Bite our tongues in vain
Did you have to doubt devotion?
There are things you can’t feign

Still Alice
02:38

Hours and knots is how she
Held my thoughts and daydreams
Pouring soda sweet as lost youth
An April sun was sealing
Chances and my feeling
Why do I shudder and still dwell on what you…
Dimly glowing in the orbit
Where the stars sit, lightbulbs burn out
Over benches where we whispered
And my shoulder held your sleeping head
Flowers, verses that we
Preened and shaped so gladly
My loss as glaring as stark truth
Spring with my sense reeling
From shades that stopped healing
Why do colors cast their doubt on what you…
Moonlit pallor, where they all kiss
Haze and bright smoke, only artifice
On a park bench your face glistened
And we both left so many things unsaid

Yi’s Song
02:51
|

Summertime, thinking of static in my shoes
Water plants with fizzy pills and warmer shades of you
And the pomegranates are red - like you said
They'd be
Rent some tapes
scrape our knees
rewind when we're done
Take my hand in cellophane that shimmers in the sun
And the Sea Ranch sidewalks - Watch the clocks all stop 'till May
Saturdays, sprawled under a stone fruit flavored moon
Herbal drinks before we sleep and wake up after noon
When we'll both stop stumbling and stand instead

More Glass
04:10
|
|||
The dross of milling water
Settles sediments
The sentiment of holding onto something
Anything softly washed away
Your heart breaks like more glass
And dawn intertwined
Wash-rinse cycles and ages
Pre-figured and tumbled
The morning through my windows
Oh, natural light always humbles
You tuck your hair behind your ear
Like brushed metal patterns
You’re cold and hushed beneath
Layers of ways we’re undone
