Walking on Saint Clarens
The flowers knock me out
Worries lift and fall apart
I feel them catch the breeze and flutter
The Monarch flies so high
And then so close
The birth of fashion
Between her wings
I suddenly adjust
My point of view
A sign
Catches my eye
In strokes of pencil colour
“We’re all in this together”
I trust you

Let’s Watch TV
I get the water
You get the chips
We like to slow down
And watch them grow
We sing along
To the theme song
It’s beautiful
There is a comfort in this home
It reminds us of many things
Many places we have been
Let’s Watch TV
Giddyap
Giddyap
Let’s Watch TV

Under A Flight Path

A light wind
Brushes the window
As I put away the dishes
A pulse overhead
Comes into focus
I look up
Every time
There’s a plane in the sky
Every time
There’s a plane in the sky
Look at that one
It’s so big
Look at that one
How the trail extends
How it must feel
To be in one
How it must feel
To be in one
Every time
There’s a plane in the sky
Look at that one
Every time
To be in one

Video Workout
01:45
|
|||
When my body
Is feeling low
I trace the steps
On a video
Of a Shaolin Monk
In a Purple Garden
And listen to
“Protect Ya Neck”
And watch the sweat
Accumulate
I was a dragon
In my youth

Fading Out Of Light
03:24
|
|||
Fading out of light
The trees
Cast shadows
The light
Makes me weep
So tender
The leaves
The branches
The mulberries
All must be so warm
Must be so hot to touch
Next door they talk
The dog walks
The dog walks towards the fence
He notices much more than this song
The dog could write
A thousand love songs
To this moment
To this moment
The baby screams next door
The dog barks at the baby
Someone screams at the dog
The cycle neverending
Fading out of light
We’re fading out of light

Slicing zucchini
Salting the fish
I’ll prepare the rice
Clear the table
Sweep the floor
The steam rises
The kitchen’s hot
Let me grab you a soda pop
We take our streets
To eat our meals
I take a bite
And dance
I cannot help it
I cannot help but dance
First with my shoulders
Then with my arms
I might get up
I feel good
I feel love in this meal
I feel love
In what you prepare
In what you prepare

Cats On Their Thrones
03:26
|
|||
Along the houses on our street
The cats lined up
One by One
Stretched out
One paw hanging off the ledge
Gently purring
A bug flies by
A dog barks
I don’t mind
Forget it
Something catches it eye
Like dew rolling off a leaf
Or the way light
Has danced upon
The rear-view mirror
Of that purple car
The cat unveils
The inner heart
God bless the speed bumps
They keep our cats alive
The heat returns
The cats resume their position
On the throne
Of our humble home

Too many books
At the bedside table
How will I find the time
To turn each over?
Each book
Is a mood
It depends
On your point of view
Too many books
At the bedside table
How will I choose
“Songs of Love, Wind, Moon”
|

Damn
It’s hot tonight
And the streets are quiet
Cars rush by
They fly
Sirens in the distance
Woo Woo
I’m crying now
I need your direction
I need your direction
Let me dream
Poetry moves me to sing
Nothing compares to what you bring
To me
You make me dream
Will I be dreaming soon?
Soon, soon
Dum Dee Da Dum
I wrote a song
Or the idea of a song
It doesn’t fit together…
