Here is a poem I wrote last summer that was meant to be a song, but I put it off. I finally got around to making a rough draft (when I probably should have been doing my taxes or fixing my ceiling) and this is it. Please excuse the bad recording, I just used the built in computer microphone and the high notes get a little loud sometimes.<\/p>\n
She\u0092s that fantastic person in the blue and white dress She takes my breath and stores it in pockets, If I could open her skin I\u0092d find sunlight and clover, You\u0092ll listen to her words through her limping tongue Her muscles are wrought with fat womens\u0092 whistles \u0093Come into my kitchen with your tin-kettle hat, And slowly you\u0092ll find your fancy yacht tipping, Walking barefoot on the carpet, her eyes blue burning, You\u0092ll lose your way in the ivory wood.

\nShe wears no make-up, her hair is a mess.
\nShe\u0092s pretty and lit.<\/p>\n
\nShe takes my soul and hooks it to rockets
\nThat come in a kit.<\/p>\n
\nI\u0092d roll in her waves, over and over,

\nShe\u0092d draw me a sword.<\/p>\n
\nAnd think of brown cows licking their young
\nOut past the spring.<\/p>\n
\nHer knees are implanted with alien missiles.
\nI hear her sing…<\/p>\n
\nI will break your will with my wiffle-ball bat,
\ntogether we will sever all the muscle from the fat,
\nthe babe from the cord.\u0094<\/p>\n
\nYour sails from the mast, your own volition, ripping.
\nShe slips off her perch.<\/p>\n
\nShe\u0092s the keeper of the zoo, the cages she\u0092s turning,
\nAnd peeling the birch.<\/p>\n
\nYou\u0092ll forget your life was ever good.
\nShe\u0092ll lay before you veil and hood,
\nthen climb aboard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
