The glory sunlight comes pouring in I wake up slowly like I always did My faucet's running, the birds are singing in the window Go, "Whoa oh," and I'm like, "Check it y'all can fly" Not a day goes by I am wearing one of many ties My motion's cosmos miniaturized My motor's running, the lights are changing all around me What a kaleidoscopic right Not a day goes by The earth is turning and I'm all right The earth is hurtling and I'm mighty fine My heart is running, my heart is hoping for a leap here I mean, I'm living a lovely life but Not a day goes by Not a day goes by That I don't wonder, oh, I wonder Am I on the tip of your tongue? Am I on your mind? And if you wonder, if you'd like to know do I? Not a day goes by

I waited for you outside of the bar The rain came down like fists on the tar I wished you would call, I wished you would show I wished I could go but the rain was too hard But the memory is a sweet thing, it's a sweet thing, it's a sweet thing No matter how hard it rode in my rough That was a night, this is a day, And I will shrug you off What is queer is our clipped love Is our split selves in this mix-up What is hard is no kind of help No aid from no one, not even myself I took off my dress in your car Just to change, just to change I put my feet through my jeans' ankles and You looked so strangely at me I guess you couldn't see what it means to me But the memory is a sweet thing, it's a sweet thing, it's a sweet thing No matter how hard it rode in me rough That was a night, this is a day, And I will shrug you off What is queer is one deaf ear Is one-hand handshakes and toast with no cheer What is sad is that now you and I can smile In each other's faces, and you will still lie

Rosemary 02:37
Remember in the bleak winter We once blessed the death of December We breathe in bursts, flickering, we decompressed And hummed "yes" with wind-words My body and your lithe body Far below us sighed and writhed wildly And why dying smally artists glow with Shows of roses I don't know it What slimmest beam, unfinished bird In flight, so thrashed and mixed in us? We hatching, singing, standing, matching, dancing Mirror this beginner Rosemary, in the nose very pungent, Don't run from it, no, just go carefully We don't want it, no we don't want it But it's coming, so welcome it Fie death and doom, my darling, darling Morning comes with a calling My heft and groove, my gnarly snarling Brings breakfast home with no bargaining And I'm sharpening eye and every tooth, To every movement I'm harkening My animal, oh, my darling animal Drawing to me when the sky's darkening And hard-rolling tomorrow comes bowling Over hillocks unconsoling. The sweet flatness of the great Greek Atlas Sings in key with our droning. And hard snowing around our hearts' knowing Warms our home like hearths glowing And still fire, burning, ne'er will tire Till life goes down at our slowing Each blooming, breathing, breaking, swooning smile They all are still dooming First fire, ghost of its maker Still will come to an end by its acre And this acher, twisted on a toothpick Bound and emboldened by strong fiber Blood pumping something out from nothing, And back to nothing we're becoming

My last kiss with you wasn't tender, nor sweet No, I was hungry for you, and you were leaving me I tried to understand how I was not in your plans When I know that you love me still You love me still It was my last chance to show that my desire runs deep My last chance to explain myself with no words, no speeches Cause I dont feel equipped. All I can feel are your lips Telling me that you love me still You love me still They told me you love me still You love me still The last thing I want is to take it too far The last thing I'd wish for you is an ache in your heart But this touch through the window, I need it, I cannot let go I want to believe that you love me still You love me still I need to think you love me still You love me still
