Oh, I saw what I am become:
shield and shelter, father, son.
I am become.
Oh, you fools I sent the raven for you.
Loud was the bell that rang the night, sang the night.
Oh, I saw what I am become.
Oh Lenore, what have you done?
I've just gone in-between.

I've got faith but don't believe.
Two feelings and a plan for three:
anxious distance, dead devotion.
Take your pick, I like this notion.
So what, so what, so what, so I'm
sewn up, sewn good, sewn tight?
Sewing spelling what I am:
stitched.

I want to tell a true story.
I want to leave that one part out.
I want to start this when I'm ready.
I want to tell you what I know:
I want healthy ideations.
I want familiar surroundings.
I want shelter in the harbor.
I want off the open road.

when the hills call me

I saw a ghost and the ghost he saw me.
I took a breath by the dying oak tree.
I took confession and said to the screen:
I'm fit, finished, okay, and I'm clean.
The ghost of the girl,
the light in the old
home on the hill
aging, and oh . . .
The hills call me home,
it's one thing to say,
The heart of it is I'm over that place.
I'm over that place.
When the dust blows in and the chirping dies out,
may wind be sermons that could not save crops.
Our hands will be eyes and trace what we missed.
Our feet will leave this place to the end.

like birds

All you ever wanted to be, all we ever needed from me.
I did never, did I ever.
Something in the hollow empty.
Sweet like birds, caged like birds, seen like birds, so just like birds.
