Your hand was pressed against this
page
flesh against wood
I want you to touch me like that
Write for me again
I want the font of your hand
your soft pretty hand
carving lines into paper
Name my desires
flesh against wood
I want you to touch me like that
Write for me again
I want the font of your hand
your soft pretty hand
carving lines into paper
Name my desires
you want as your own
Make contact, leave your mark
Press yourself
your whole self
against me entirely
------------------------------------------------------
How empty is a life
Sound should sound
Make contact, leave your mark
Press yourself
your whole self
against me entirely
------------------------------------------------------
How empty is a life
that does not dread
flowers on graves?
Love is despair
at its own sunset
I will fight back the nights
bring you a daisy a day
to protect you from time
sing you poems of ecstasy
I will fight back the nights
bring you a daisy a day
to protect you from time
sing you poems of ecstasy
to shield you from silence
feed you tea and oranges
to celebrate your body
Death now seems a terrible injustice
You are the reason I fear the end
-----------------------------------------------------feed you tea and oranges

Death now seems a terrible injustice
You are the reason I fear the end
Sound should sound
like the desire in your voice

Now I hear the mystery
Now I hear the longing
Hide with me in the old church
Moan
and listen for God

I want to die with you
in a whiteout
drowning in deepest warm cold
motionless
pitched into black
the warmest cold calm
motionless
pitched into black
the warmest cold calm
I want to die with you in a whiteout
Take me with you
Take me with you
I want to be immediately
completely forgotten
The world we formedcompletely forgotten
was more than enough
---------------------------------------------------------------
vibrating against itself
a throat on fire
with an electric hum
I love your voice
the soft bloom of your voice
swelling exploding
inside of my chest
A heart is flesh
pushing back against itself
It doesn't know what it wants
frantic and frenzied
thrashing around in the dark
A heart is an endless civil war
flesh beating itself to death
I love the chaos of your heart
dissatisfied
arrhythmic
wild
We are flesh
a plenum of restive flesh
now stilled from within
-------------------------------------------------------
My hands smell like your chest
I fill my whole body
I’m at the edge of my skin
Everything
Everything is flesh
Why did it take us so long
to lie down and sink
into the mist and the clover?
Because your face can’t be pictured
and your name can’t be spoken
even when I take you in my arms
and we tumble backwards
slowly downwards
into the endless empty fall
---------------------------------------------------------I fill my whole body
I’m at the edge of my skin
Everything
Everything is flesh
Why did it take us so long
to lie down and sink
into the mist and the clover?
Because your face can’t be pictured
and your name can’t be spoken
even when I take you in my arms
and we tumble backwards
slowly downwards
into the endless empty fall
Laugh with me
that fearless laughter
-----------------------------------------------------
I want to come find you
deeper than the world
lost in the depths of all Being
We will dissolve
lost in the depths of all Being
We will dissolve
fall and die
into the first ecstasy
Let go
The Boundless will catch us-----------------------------------------------------
We can learn much
from those who paint the countryside
from those who paint the countryside
just before the first snowfall
musicians who let silence
swallow the field of sound
Will I ever have lived
and loved you enough to let go?
Love is the terror
of time running out
We are so young, my love!
musicians who let silence
swallow the field of sound
Will I ever have lived
and loved you enough to let go?
Love is the terror
of time running out
We are so young, my love!
Much younger than we know
And yet we do not have long
Your hand will not
And yet we do not have long
Your hand will not
remain in mine always
We are not ready
We are not ready
to take the leap with joy
Let’s make love
Let’s make love
to practice and prepare
-------------------------------------------------I want to come find you
push myself into you
pass through to the other side
find you beyond
waiting for me once more
pass through to the other side
find you beyond
waiting for me once more
But you’re never close enough
to even be out of reach
You have no real birthday
There's no way to sculpt you
You don’t dance on the ground
You float and you fade
in the city in the rain
The light in your eyes isn’t light
Your voice doesn’t come from your throat
You aren’t beautiful like a flower
Your beauty is that of dreams and ideals
and yet you are bone blood and tissue
wrapped in skin and hair
There's a skull behind your face
Your eyes are meat lodged in bone
Your hands are earth ash and dirt
I just want to hold you
So look with me in the mirror
and realize
we’re here right now
to even be out of reach
You have no real birthday
There's no way to sculpt you
You don’t dance on the ground
You float and you fade
in the city in the rain
The light in your eyes isn’t light
Your voice doesn’t come from your throat
You aren’t beautiful like a flower
Your beauty is that of dreams and ideals
and yet you are bone blood and tissue
wrapped in skin and hair
There's a skull behind your face
Your eyes are meat lodged in bone
Your hands are earth ash and dirt
I just want to hold you
So look with me in the mirror
and realize
we’re here right now
But only one of us
will die in the other's arms
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I wish I could walk with you foreverwill die in the other's arms
-----------------------------------------------------------------
wandering endless paths
But so much joy is unbearable
because I once was so chained
so lost in the Never without you
Now I feel colors and trumpets!
I know why there is a morning
always a new day
I smile with children and animals
I see my calm reflected
in the still waves of your mind
But so much joy is unbearable
when I am this new this
out-in-the-open
so exposed to tomorrow
and never as happy before
I love the past that led me here
and now as my future
to know what gives you ecstasy
and cross the limits beside you
But so much joy is unbearable
I once was without you
Now all I do is transcend
