  • #77 thoughts upon awakening
    i’ve got plates
    spinnning
    on sticks in my hands
    i wonder
    if i let go
    will anything
    change
    will everything
    crash down
    in front of me
    will it all
    just float away
    or disappear
    completely

  • #76 independence day
    once a girl planted me
    deep in a garden
    up past my knees
    i was a bleeding heart
    but she left me there
    and i took no roots
    eventually i was scattered
    by birds
    if i had been
    a waterlogged
    spiny cactus
    i would have made it
    just fine
    is this
    what i was meant for
    is this
    what i was made for
    i kiss the gates of possibilities
    i hug the walls of impatience
    how much longer do i have to wait
    how much longer do i have to wait
    i have waited long enough
    i have waited long enough

  • #75 i took them down to the water's edge
    i took them down to the water’s edge
    there i let them all go from my hands
    hidden in tiny walnut shell canoes
    i waved goodbye for the last time
    the first one tipped and sank right away
    a fish heaved and swallowed another
    then the sky opened and pelted the third
    a fusillade of tears battered it under
    why did i do it
    why did i let them go
    i am a dusty streambed
    i am a shipwreck
    so while it continued to rain i jumped in
    and there they all were glittering silver
    with wings and fins living and breathing
    tiny river nymphs living happy and free
    i had to do it
    i had to let them go
    i am a dusty streambed
    i am a shipwreck

  • #74 i'll be your necklace
    like lapis
    and pearls
    strung together
    in long
    crimson
    ribbons
    words
    cannot live
    breathe or die
    but like people
    they are
    fragile
    or robust
    elusive
    and
    beautiful
    some are
    easily confused
    what is this
    jewel or
    gaudy bauble
    sparkling
    noose
    or silver
    arms
    beneath
    your shirt

  • #73 but the crow is not bound by rails
    a train whistle
    splits the morning
    pushing straight
    through the middle
    i hit the future bluntly
    no cutting edge
    to part the way
    destination unknown
    they say it’s
    the getting there
    that matters most
    the arrival is the end
    a crow holler
    splits the morning
    his beak pushing
    through the middle

  • #72 a selfish prayer
    oh god
    who lives
    in a cave
    upstate
    please
    let me write
    one song
    just one
    as good
    as david’s
    for i
    am weak
    and
    my loss
    of self
    is failing
    but i
    want
    something
    beautiful
    to show
    for it
    oh god
    who lives
    in a cave
    upstate

  • #71 but i can tell why a titmouse is neither
    the other night
    i saw god
    he lives
    upstate
    in a cave
    he moved
    up there
    from
    flatbush
    a few
    years
    ago
    he was angry
    beause
    i was late
    for a meeting
    he called up
    at the cave
    he was
    younger
    than i
    thought
    i didn’t know
    anybody else
    they were
    all diamond
    cutters
    dressed
    in black
    trying to
    capture
    diffused
    sunlight

  • #70 did leopold really mean it when he called molly his mountain flower - she said yes
    let me hide
    in your mirror
    stow away
    in your sad sack
    tag along
    in your loose change
    tucked away
    in your glad rags
    an angel
    moonapples
    a humming
    bird egg
    you are a
    mystery at once
    so close
    yet so far
    away
    i'll meet
    both the dawn
    and the dark
    head on
    but you i have to
    imagine
    or invent
    from the ground
    up
    let me hide
    in your mirror
    just to see you
    sometime
    push me down
    in your pocket
    i'll be
    your
    good
    luck

  • #69 as a spider silently scurries across the floor
    something’s
    not right
    i have an
    uneasy feeling
    like how
    parakeets
    can
    predict
    earthquakes
    maybe it’s
    nothing
    i’ll shake it off
    forget
    about it until
    somebody
    tells me
    something
    bad
    and i’ll
    say
    man
    i had
    a feeling
    this
    was
    going
    to
    happen

  • #68 hullo toledo
    back again
    slipping
    through
    darkness
    i slept
    most of
    the way
    this time
    so did
    the girl
    next to me
    once
    in the early morning
    she forgot
    and put her arm
    around me
    between
    rochester
    and erie
    i didn’t move
    and secretly
    pretended
    we were
    lovers
    she awoke
    and said
    i’m sorry
    i don’t know
    what came
    over me
    i said don’t worry
    it’s ok

About The 365 Project

From the publisher's feed

Inspired by song diarists like David Andrew Strackany (aka PALEO), I endeavor to write, record and upload a song a day for 365 days.
