1. Every Night Club
I tend my garden at night
through 27 stop lights
tired young lovers who just might
popular mistake
nightcrawling fake
You don’t scare me
see your style in that window?
You’re not so tough
see your style on that page
With this whip we wed
playing out our lives in a bed
chain of command heavy as lead
love the machine
dying in a dream
You don’t scare me
see your style in that window?
You’re not so tough
see your style on that page
2. Ice Storm
I want our love
crystalized
in the snow
on the windows of our house in the woods
Not diffused
like a scent in city heat
3. Paxton Boys
White windows
white flag
white wig
milk street meetings
bitters and figs
Hell Fire Club
join or die
moonlit necessity
I’ll be your lie
Leather gloves
gold age
ice age
paying it forward
writhing in a cage
contract bid
sleek new armor
what she doesn’t know won’t harm her
4. Query Refinement
Crickets and whispers
drown out screams
blessings were never
what they seemed
Moon bath in a field
group play at what was real
dent in the grass where we laid
promissory notes never paid
Crickets and whispers
drown out screams
blessings were never
what they seemed
5. Dying in a Dream
6. Exit Reality Firm
Untie my ribbons
fastened with a kiss
sing a vague eulogy
for all that I will miss
Exit reality firm
to prismsidedness
fragmented brother
omnifacet bliss
Where is this comfort?
these foreign necessities?
unbearable belief
why are you testing me?
All the city’s orphans
form a psychic family
slippery as you have been
your last letter held a key
7. Physical Education
