New Construction
Inside of you
There is new construction
There is a cantilevered heart
hanging on a ledge of darkness
hanging on
There is a place to park
There is access
Easy access
To all the things you think you need
Inside of you

Inside of you
Nothing upstairs
Something downstairs
Don’t go in
Don’t come out
Without a doubt
There is something more
There is nothing less
Than nothing
Inside of you

And the stream with no water
Feeds the valley with no trees
And the trees will wait for you to cut them down

Inside of you
There are loads to bear
There are roads to where there are no roads
There is wilderness
Unexplored and uncontrolled
It is there
There is a house waiting for you
burning for you
watch it burn inside of you


Watching Paint Dry
Blue flows into white
seems about  right
the stroke is up and down
to the right
the white is edged with black which blends with blue
which fades to you

the line is smooth and curved
it's pretty close
the stroke is short and light
still to the right
a touch of gold underneath the blue
which looks like you

hours and hours and hours and hours
the smallest detail
the light the lash the lip the look
the blue
which all add up to you
or something awfully close

you cannot replace me
you cannot replace me

the paint isn't dry
the paint isn't even dry

you cannot replace me
you cannot replace me

the paint isn't dry
the paint isn't even dry
