lyrics

"strike"

Principle mishap:
the chords slap me in the face.
The doorway
open,
shut,
repeated
&
I’m through with it
every morning,
every night
it’s not the glory
what’s the point in the fight?

I’ll be profoundly broken in on
waking up
to hear the songs
of the earth
being burnt
like a river of cement—
—or what I meant…

…my mess of commodity it strikes me
like a muddy river
or a house
full of well set conditions,
a mountain of clothes to wash, & your name to pronounce.
Off again
tell my friends
I can’t stand to see
the open ended notions
get to me.

Broken in on
your teeth
they’re nice to meet
& know.
Like the sun
and it’s fervent glow
you strike my skin
pulled around to bend
over my muscles & bones.
These sticks are thin
& come from trees
which I’ll need to be buried underneath.
