lyrics

I.

Can you speak
or will you demur again,
wondering, as you cough
that long martyr’s itch from your throat
and spit it, humbly enough,
to the verge
if this habit of treading lightly
is a monk’s or a cowards,
if your soft, patient sidesteps
sleepwalk quietly towards Calvary
or pass like miracle kernels, undigested
through the system.

There! Ocean winds blast
this bright little garret room.
Salt water chugs behind a smooth, dry
freeway with its throat swelled
and sputtering to the new moon
a good righteous mess
like God loves.

II.

Spring tide
You feel the high water in your stomach,
the exuberant obscene froth taking to the air in soapy clouds
as she drives her gaze calmly
through the open casement—
She is tracing upper lines
in the architecture downtown,
calculating.
