Hide 01:26
paint my hide all different colors put feathers on my face what kind of animal does that make, does that make me?

recently I’ve been finding sand at the foot of the bed feeling pine needles pressed against pockets of corduroy there’s branches of sumac on the shelves oh my dear it seems that I’ve been stealing in sleep I can see deer in June but there are no deer in chinatown bicycles remain exoskeletons we’ve housed our bodies in and chickens rotisseried lassoed with twine they’re dangling in the windows showing no signs just keep walking on by in sleep I can see deer in june but there are no deer in chinatown there are no deer in chinatown the trees have been fooled into bloom pink cherry blossoms in december blame the unusually warm weather but the air is too warm for my skin I want to move northward where my bones can settle in in sleep I can see deer in june but there are no deer in chinatown there are no deer in chinatown there are no deer in chinatown they must have fled above canal

Catie 03:30
oh Catie, she's not what I expected she's not what I dreamt it would be me, I want it to be me between our eyes, lies a theater empty as you blow wind to rolls and rolls of backdrop but I hadn't seen what had a grown underneath the snow kept coming, had all the actors running home but one didn't stray and away you did fall names they are a haunting, through ice I am coughing oh Catie, she's not what I expected she's not what I dreamt it would be me, I want it to be me between our eyes, shoots an aqueduct said April to the farmer now's the time in drowning arms for spring wine to my lips, curve thumbs around your wrists those paper daffodils you paint stain my plans to move away from this lie to live, live long to lie down oh Catie, she's not what I expected she's not what I dreamt

Paris Girls 02:52
hyacinths go well with fractured cobblestones shutters always match the window boxes the women that sit behind balconies have higher cheekbones than I their fingernails lack the dirt fixed underneath mine but what do they know what do the girls in paris know and I would like to know what the girls in paris know they’re fastening their two toned shoes at night always baring shoulders and wearing tights feeling palm lines of a lover across the table I bet later on he’ll trace the notches in her spine but what do they know what do the girls in paris know and I would like to know what the girls in paris know maybe it’s the way they pronounce arrondissement si je parlais francais, je serais un fille de paris but what do they know what do the girls in paris know and i would like to know what the girls in paris know what the girls in paris know
5.
Catacombs 03:34
step by step, down the catacombs and all at once you froze you climbed backed up so I followed you you asked me why, you fool Eurydice gave no answer on a plane, I’ll leave faster well, we melt and we freeze we say no then we seize each other’s arms just the same but no river by night, oh no tower of light can mark the foolish words in our minds I reach for a hand but I know it’s a fist sometimes love is a swing and a miss there’s no remedy for the aching city with a love that’s divine but a life that’s just not quite and the martyr who’s hoping leaves a bum that is broken a love that is not - is a knot untied

one morning I asked him a question, why so many seagulls here in belleville? he told me they must be converted birds for the fish markets and missing him happens in the body on the train from away from here the corn is still growing in the fields pulling the space between the shoulders and the heels on a pris un juillet je crois que j’aime l’homme que j’ai quitté that night he quizzed me on the body en commençant par les orteils il dit qu’il peut me voir dans la nuit and in the morning he read me a bulletin of oceanography and it’s never been so sexy all those steam ships and ice factories on a pris un juillet je crois que j’aime l’homme que j’ai quitté je te tiens, tu me tiens je te tiens, tu me tiens je te tiens, tu me tiens

Little Fangs 03:52
put your ghosts on the table wring 'em out until you're able to look up with your bursting eyes the fire inside, it does, it dies oh you're just there all skin and bones you're nervous, Love, it shows, it shows but I don't think you'll run too far your fangs don't bite, they bark, they bark well I wanted love like two thieves on a train like the night I kissed you on a stone lion's mane we've beaten all the best of odds does a second chance mean space apart? I'm a man, who's put you first but I need time, this hurts, this hurts you don't smoke weed, you're filled with doubt oh heavy a mind, heavy a girl Maine, New York, Halifax those tickets bought to get back, get back I said I'd return again and steal you flowers from Stonington cuz I wanted love like two thieves on a train like the night I kissed you on a stone lion's mane we've beaten all the best of odds does a second chance mean space apart? does a second chance mean space that night you came with your mind crossed twice crying is this right, oh is this right? little fangs in a gentle face we're both playing a monster's game
8.
And I Do 05:04
be enough it’s over, say goodnight sidewalk wasted hollow horrified sour so much I taste, harder bitter your love is so I know I’ll see you on the street and I do wander, wonder where you’ll be next and who will she be on my steps remember when you moved in upstairs knocking on my door I’d never felt such arrest and I do dont compare my love to a past you don’t know how I feel, was always like that and I do be enough it’s over, say goodnight sidewalk wasted hollow horrified and I know I’ll see you on the street and I know I’ll see you on the street and I do
9.
Strange Joy 03:30
we’ve spent afternoons walking and you’ve told me about the bats in the walls of your childhood home and I’ll wait till morning to think about all those fluttering sounds strange joy it is to be alone with you strange joy you revere cedars and locusts too and I wanna learn how to tell one from the other but we’re well past the golden hour now ghosts in the graveyard running around spend our time circling round strange joy it is to be alone with you strange joy I said darlin are you doin fine yes I’m doin fine but I’d feel better if I knew strange joy it is to be alone with you strange joy strange joy it is to be alone with you I’d feel much better if I knew yeah I’d feel much better if I knew
10.
deed's been handed down everyone's moving southbound graze on the wood of the womb around you kid house, tin house cotton tail and copper mouse graze on the wood of the womb around you dreams hide, plums dry lazy teams of shoofly graze on the wood of the womb around you and I can't sing when it's moving to fast and I can't sing when it's moving and I can't sing, when it's moving to fast and I can't sing when it's moving, moving, moving
11.
Need 04:14
how these limbs fall into place tell me how the world will be but you roll back on the bed and sigh today don't surprise me, no today don't surprise me what does it take to follow a want till it breaks? you've need for something, I've a need for nothing well if teeth are bone, does it mean they can break? how my mouth does often bleed but the dentist, she swirls all around just to prove you ain't got no disease, no you ain't got no disease what does it take to follow a want till it breaks? you've need for something, I've a need for nothing well, get up, get on, why don't you get gone? rinse your mouth and go to market a choice is a choice is a meal on our plate oh why is your mind so disjointed? your mind, you're mine you've need for something, I've a need for nothing and I think we should’ve made a list to define this very lesson this one singular depression
