i want to love you
i want my love to reach your ears
i want to give to you
you could trust me with your fears
and still i sense from your hesitation
you know just as well as i do
my love would fail you
my love's as human as my death
my towers crumble
my bridges burn under warrior's breath
my songs are silly likely misunderstood
and possibly could be used for ill
and still, you love me
you reach me lazy, deaf, and blind
you shut my dumb lips.
you give me silence i forgot was mine
you need no bridge, just for me to sit there-
listen and be still
and then i wake up
and remember you're already here
you're in the rubble of my brokenness and tears
you're singing my silly songs and saying
"these ones are good"
and i am with you
and i forget you all the time
and that can't kill you
because there is no lost time
and as i sing to you,
you join in,
i hear your voice in mine
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you,
thanksgiving, thanksgiving, thanksgiving, thanksgiving,
thanksgiving, thanksgiving,
i am thanksgiving
I AM THANKSGIVING

people keep on dyin
got no tears for cryin
something half passed numb
death revealed as dumb
spirit realms too open
nothing on earth to hope in
people fly toward the high
grief compounding multiplied
he sent an email to the man
a psychic adjustment was the plan
they would talk in twenty twenty
hindsight says he was too empty (or too full)
to wait another day
to put off a final hang

charbonneau
do you have an end
i can't see it
i want to know
charbonneau
are you just like me
are you just like everyone
are you and endless river
or just a painting on my window
charbonneau
are your days numbered less
and can i guess them

god- in the face of hopelessness you disappear
looks like you were never real, never really there.
and if i cannot place you,
then i cannot hate you
and i never did - never will
i try to love you but I
don't know what that means
when you're up and gone
as the world comes apart at the seams
these poor folk looking for a rest, in your supposed care-
they keep trying to find you in the thought of almost there
oh god - are you hopeless, like me and my friends?
do you insist out of reach beyond every touch, past any end?
and is there beauty in this cosmic joke?
is it somehow tragically true?
that you need us more than we could possibly need you.
are you trapped in darkness- are you stuck in sin?
are you lost in nothing- are you drawn within?
and if you were lonely
would we ever know?
unanswered question
for you unknowable.
so, when i'm lonely
i will keep my solitude
reach out for nothing
and in nothing -
i'll find you.

how many words would it take
to finally say the last right thing
how many days-
how many ways and means
how much quiet would i have to sit through
to finally understand
to arrive at the summit-
the peak of the promised land
bring it back back back
bring it on back
to the center where it's tipsy
to the moment it starts slipping
could i bring it back here now
right here where i am
utterly torn asunder
but it doesn't feel like thunder
feels like dew
dew drops dividing in two

do you remain

do you remain
do you remain
do you maintain
are you still the same
do you remain
through thick and thin
beyond big ol' bang
inside space within
when it's story time
seems you run for the hills
leave us to our devices
give us time to kill
i've made you up in my mind
thousands of times
from projections and pearls
before humans and swine
do you remain
do you remain
can you maintain
are you still the same
if you told us a story
there'd be no beginning or end
we'd get so dang confused
we'd probably kill you again
it seems that everything fails
and everything falls
everything tears apart
and at the center is a broken heart
and i still love you
as you tear apart
somehow you remain
hiding in every secret part
do you remain
do you remain
can you maintain
are you still the same

are you like everyone else
are you like charbonneau
do you bend out of view
i really need to know
know how to call you
and if everything new
is something ready to die
then you've been falling apart
falling for a while - for a while
in your parts and pieces
is there place for peace
does this great big puzzle
have an end
cause i'm tired
i'm tired
i am tired
are you tired
you seem tired
you're like nothing i've known
you're just like charbonneau
and you really can't seem
can't seem to let me know
know how to call you
