  • #157 pull the blinds
    time winds through
    the by and by
    one moment is all
    it takes
    and running through
    it a single
    shiny thread of liquid
    silver
    but that’s not what
    the thief wants
    the root of the root is
    obscure
    pull the blinds
    pull the blinds
    the worm knows both
    the apple and
    the heart both sweet with
    desire
    inside a forest
    silence and flight
    fight for impossibility
    alone
    pull the blinds
    pull the blinds

  • #156 it will have to do
    a piano wrapped
    around a room
    it will only play
    one tune
    it will have to do
    it will have to do
    a birdcage big
    enough for two but
    mine only knows
    one tune
    it will have to do
    it will have to do
    if there was only
    one song would
    it need to be sung
    would we secretly
    dream up the rest
    and keep them
    hidden inside like
    sidewalk pennies
    and good luck charms
    one year wrapped
    around me like a shroud
    tune after tune
    it will have to do
    it will have to do

  • #155 i'm going to have my way with you (song to the muse)
    i’m going to press
    this song up against
    the wall and in no
    uncertain terms
    i’m going to have
    my way with you
    i’ve had it with you
    let me love you stop
    resisting you know
    we’re halfway through
    i’m going to have
    my way with you
    let me take you
    to evergreen pines
    trampled leaves
    under toe
    tucked inside
    wool blankets
    under snow
    or slip past the
    undersea
    green weeds
    i don’t ask for much
    in return just give
    up your silver threaded
    pearls of impulse
    i’m going to have
    my way with you

  • #154 reach inside and touch the dust of dreams
    yesterday i saw a leaf leap
    from a tree it just let go
    an arc of awkward freedom
    and instead of falling it
    lifted up and out of sight
    stand on a chair
    lift your hands high
    it is never enough
    like slipping through
    pale mist the kiss of
    cold against skin every
    button undone down
    to the last one down
    down down down
    when you’re ready to leap
    let go crop circle geometry
    will be your guide you will
    glide awkwardly lifted up
    and out of sight
    stand on a chair
    lift your hands high
    it is never enough
    what mystery still remains
    what survives the reigns
    the harnessed desire that
    strains to reach inside and
    touch the dust of dreams
    stand on a chair
    lift your hands high
    it is never enough

  • #153 i have forgotten why - tell me again
    i have forgotten why
    tell me again
    am i pushing this along
    or am i being dragged
    limply behind
    sometimes i want to
    pretend each day
    doesn’t matter
    can the angel-fueled
    furnace churning the
    words burning in turns
    bake my blackbird pie
    will the rope that keeps
    me tied to the back
    of this bakery delivery
    truck cease to exist
    besides
    what’s so easy about
    sugar fruit
    flour
    and heat

  • #152 you turn your leaves and greet the trees on hands and knees and wonder what kind of fool am i
    why is it like this
    why does the day kiss
    the light from
    satellites above
    what sleepybug journeyed eye
    can compromise what i
    have known all along that
    there is nothing but a heatseeking
    heart beating deep inside of me
    why can’t i hide this
    why do the birds miss
    the sigh from
    my eyes above
    what tatertot tasted kiss
    do i miss the most like
    the pale ghost who hangs
    from my bedpost a sad memory
    of how everything used to be
    you turn your leaves
    and greet the trees
    on hands and knees
    and wonder what kind of fool am i
    and wonder what kind of fool am i
    like riding a bicycle
    full speed into snowflakes
    obliterating across our faces
    geometric teary diamonds dissolving
    against the heat of our cheeks
    you turn your leaves
    and greet the trees
    on hands and knees
    and wonder what kind of fool am i
    and wonder what kind of fool am i
    and wonder what kind of fool am i

  • #151 weightless resistance
    sometimes i float
    sometimes i sink
    in between there is
    weightlessness
    i am heavy
    with weightlessness
    it presses down on me
    like a hawk before the kill
    the moon begins
    to swell for the sixth time
    and the hawk clears the yard
    before weightless resistance
    lifts itself skyward
    i will turn a corner
    i will turn a corner

  • #150 requiem for an alley cat
    agile grace under
    four-corner street
    lamp humming light
    orange mystery
    cool in the chaos
    of shouts squealling
    tires in the din you
    ruled from the alley
    i will look for you
    always and again
    otherwise this
    city’s already dead
    and then i lost you
    under the wheels
    they destroyed your
    ginger symmetry
    sometimes the only
    thing that matters
    is what we will never
    understand
    i will look for you
    always and again
    otherwise this
    city’s already dead

  • #149 recovering the acorn
    i look over the edge
    and they’re all gone
    not a single scrap
    of paper to be seen
    eaten buried or
    retrieved this
    transmission is
    slowly weakening
    nothing’s lost
    that can be found
    everything is
    someplace
    like a squirrel
    who spends his
    life searching
    to find
    nothing’s lost
    nothing’s lost

  • #148 yes i said yes tonight
    i get so tired
    sometimes
    i want to disappear
    into it
    lose myself
    wrapped in
    the arms of morpheus
    forever
    tonight
    yes i said yes
    tonight
    i will give in
    very soon
    i will slip past the gate
    without fail
    tonight
    yes i said yes
    tonight

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.
