Qochata

Vast empty space sends sweetly askew Swirling vortices of dust and light And from some observer's distant view Appears to be like clockwork

In a contemplative fit of design; The unshakable feeling makes me resign; I am alone

I once saw a man With a hunger so deep He could not quell it And a sadness so steep He could not tell it The day he jumped he heard it say: Walk the world Do talk the world Know and show and flow The world Unjust the world Just adjust the world Trust the world Wander and sink into the world Drink the world Do think the world Know the world is just yourself Sing yourself Do ring yourself Drink and think Sink into yourself Show yourself Do know yourself Reach yourself and Teach yourself Just yourself Just trust yourself Above yourself Just love yourself Know the world is just yourself And when he hit the ground No

Soft arms of light Reach down through clouds To stroke and tickle The tops of the trees Walking diagonal, he decrees, "With fever and ache do I plague the earth! From soothing death to thundering birth!" If I recall, he one day sees The golden tops of trees

A great fear that opens me wide Tugs my heart; the moon to the tide I reach for my flask To handle the task And when I looked at him, he sighed

Crafts me into the boy he'll see Wraps my body all around me With hands of amber Fingers soft Throws me back into he Paints a smile across my/his face Makes my skin all out of lace Softer still My maker's neck And always leaves me out of place Gives me hope without its trace Dances me outside its box Turns off the light, the door he locks Brings me ivory Golden things Hears the ticking of the clocks Makes me dream To me he sings Fills my stomach full of rocks Hands on me, linger rings Holds my heart all made of wheat Carries it round, the world to meet Paints my eyes Tussles my hare hair Strokes my feet Trips and rips

The most beautiful thing I've ever heard Was whispered to me Amid clothes and blankets And a seemingly irresistable desire to be your "him" It's like a frost You're breath coating me A freezing relief to an overheated, exhausted me Those words With the impalpable drop of their essence Send me falling A fall I've taken before Falling mind and body Words falling out my head Saying, "Perfect." My smile a faint description Of everything My pants have already told you Your words are still hanging in the air Around my frosty ears "Let it happen"

When I saw you in my dream last night I think I half-recall You were explaining to me, the baked potato And waltzing on the wall I hadn't noticed that you'd been dressed Until your body was bare I half-recall I looked away I may have chosen to stare I see you here in reality And blush when faced your way As if the secrets in my head My face would give away In that dream I half-remember You looked into my eyes The walls and floors and the baked potato Ripped into the skies The world around us fell apart You told me as you held my heart, "Everybody dies."
