Move Along
A land that's been invaded
by hate and vitriol
waiting on a king
to fix the troubles
two babies in the backseat
shame on us
took too long
Detroit's cold in the winter
move along move along
someone's gotta get stepped on
move the fuck along
sell some pillows or apple cider vinegar
million likes on social media
this is how far we've come
on and on we keep ranting
as our world comes undone
but what you gonna do
if they don't pay yah
move along move along
peace be with you ...

Realization
Glass of red wine
looking through a
window
smudge through
charcoal bedding
onto a maple
stripped from cold autumn
laid bare
to winter

Ghost in the shadows
The ghost floating in the shadows
unhinged all the catastrophes
falling like raindrops and wrecking balls
until none of it was my fault
wandering endlessly
through rows of chest high sweet corn
while the soundtrack of life fades
plant it grow it up mow it down
start all over again and again
callouses on my hands
remember the empty bellies
the ghost floating in the shadows
laughs and laughs and laughs
unhinged all the catastrophes
falling like raindrops and wrecking balls
until none of it was my fault
wandering endlessly
through rows of chest high sweet corn
while the soundtrack of life fades
plant it grow it up mow it down
start all over again and again
callouses on my hands
remember the empty bellies
the ghost floating in the shadows
laughs and laughs and laughs

Moonlight Hour
spent some time up on the coast
in the land of always been
up where the elk run among the cedars
the memory of your love in me
lake filled with pike
line full of hope
whispers through the trees
pain that was such a burden
sweat upon the brow
angry moonlight hour
water quenching thirst
ripples through my toes
as i stand along the shore
whatever i thought whatever i was
i am no more
in the land of always been
up where the elk run among the cedars
the memory of your love in me
lake filled with pike
line full of hope
whispers through the trees
pain that was such a burden
sweat upon the brow
angry moonlight hour
water quenching thirst
ripples through my toes
as i stand along the shore
whatever i thought whatever i was
i am no more

The Flowers
I've known 1,000 crooks
read 10,000 books
still like my whiskey with sour
took 500 aims
at my 5,000,000 blames
as I sit all alone at the fire
my hands are now cold
but my heart is still bold
waiting on some newfound desire
if I don't think quick
i just might miss
my opportunity to fuck up the flowers
it's been 700 months
i met 31 monks
not one of them had a thing to say
i poured 20,000 baths
to clean...
