Louisiana Avenue

You can get lots of air
on Louisiana avenue if you dare
get that tingling feeling in your hair
like the night we were at the fair
And saw the man hold his girl so tight
she didn't want to see him fight
no more over her
She's quiet now looking off somewhere
with her frown and all her bleach-color hair
He brushed her cheek with his bloodwounded thumb
as hyper red/green lights do jump

Shelley Duvall

|
The porch lights up the rims
Of the wagon you call Wendy
Like Shelley Duvall
The greatest of them all
The hen that struts your drive
I think she is the mountains
Cuz she watches and waits
And loves you with all her heart
You learned me by asking
You wait
We tore through the ripping away
Making up lives without one another
and acting them out for each other
Hey
How are you today?
I'm fine
I'm glad you're here
We're still friends
We're just friends
Two years, two cars,
A bike that you built yourself
And the feeling of missing home
I still get surprised
When you know
Every song hanging on the air
Like the words are stuck in your hair
And I just get to love you and watch
Tracing your back, awake,
Your eyes aren't open yet
Will made coffee

(Kite Context)
02:05
|
|||
|
I was on the couch you like, and you on the other end, when something shifts so the words from your lungs float past my head like ash like ash. And the span of fabric between us grows and grows. Until I am Marcelo in his loafers all the way up and above our perfect love temple; I am changed I am changed––but it is so familiar, I cherish it

Kite
04:09
|
|||
|
I am a kite red and frail
so the wind moves me
my line reaches in a pale curve
to the earth
where I got thrown up from

They found your stargazing mangled body covered in leaves. You were alive, your leg was worse than worthless, and it'd be your death. The fall left you gasping but before passing out you said out loud that the
forest looks beautiful at this time of day.
They took your leg before it poisoned you
You fought the care like you had fought the pain
Your pride, your fear, they pull they pull you away
New flesh it grows, it's yours it's yours they say
After spending so long hurting in your hate
The nights got cold.
And you let them hold you, warm and unfamiliar––
You want to fight it when you start to feel freer
Your leg's regrown and beginning to freckle.
You've said a few words in the past few days.
Distant in the daytime but later in bed––
You're letting it hold you and holding it back
You're letting it kiss you and kissing it back
Your leg's regrown and you are not running
Mm-mm
You're letting it hold you
And holding it back
Mm-mm
You're letting it kiss you
And kissing it back ––

Horror Youth
03:33
|

|
Punctured bike behind Noah's house,
the boy I liked pushed me from the roof
Horror youth
boys' love uncouth
The way you never said my name out loud
told me plainly you'd never lay your body down
the way I would for you

I miss this already
Dave Hopes and Teddy
Anybody else coulda done those little things
but no one chose to
I spent weeks with this one sock
eking out the color of chalk
Why is it that I don't function when you're gone?
I didn't choose to be here
Didn't have such muscle yet

Brave
04:00
|

I don’t feel brave, just unsafe
The light on the bar from the lights on the stage
My friends are brave, they stay up late
Their hand on my arm, my hands on my face
I can’t stay the night but thank you
I feel safe to drive, thank you
I’ll text you when I’m home
Thank you
My friends of friends, they move in the loud
The smiles from the stage push to their part of the crowd
This feeling’s old, this shortness of breath
It started around them and stopped when I left
I left home

Gendered Socks

|
Gendered socks
We were eight and thinking
“How’d we get so tall?”
Thin and lankily spanned and spread
I learned to kiss your lips
Before they told me it was wrong
My love choked
My love choked in
A shallow grave
And waited for your rain

Over Breakfast Bread
02:45
|
|||
|
Run under cold water and then
into an oven to crisp it's stale
we share frustration and care
and courage to love in the morning

Fisher Price Police Cars
06:20
|
|||
|
There, over there, they mowed the lawn
Working around the bikes and scooters
And the small, faded police car in the grass
Fisher price, fisher price police cars
Buzzing down the avenues
They’re mowing now over rocks
And mountains, down rivers
Into lakes and into oceans
Out of view, except for
The sunflower you grew:
It is looking at, at me
And it is looking at me
It looks at me from behind
And over your truck
It’s growing from the bed
Working on keeping it up,
On greening, on sweeping it up

Strangerly (bonus track)

The night looks so cute!
We put all of our lamps and chairs in the yard
Until the rain came
Until we sat in a circle
Until we sat in a circle
Until we sat in a circle
Until we sat in a circle
And built a house,
Small and together
Small and together!
Small and together!
Small and together!
Small and together!
Small and together,
Together, strangerly!
Strangerly
