365

365 and nobody knows
What's waiting in heaven or each place below
Blue dusty footsteps with big airy smiles?
Liquid bugs and inflatable wing-balloons?
more hairy poems through orange kazoos?
No such thing as future news


Nothing left but to get in and go, still. again. to go
palms up chips down chest bare
heart with a so desperate and happy prayer

365 more of who knows how
many left I'll have
to lay down lonely, stand up crippled
Hungry for truth, not cheese.
This stuff is important

Steady the treads, ready the heads and make extra soft the beds
For the faltering, wandering, stumbling, wondering, hurting
beautiful feet that you love.

Silent thunderblasts, you know the ones
Stabbed straight through and swept under the lungs
A fragrance of just the right colour (the one without a name) whisper of just the right shade image with just the right..

Caress.


Those three that remain, they're all we got left
And we all know which one is the best
The one we all so often confess
Make it true, root it down deep
When it's not, well we all know the stories
Of slippery slopes that tend to be steep

It's all we got left, so God...please.

Take all the world away. These shiny, wonderful shooting stars
that are literally made of poop.
The trash we never wanted that we can't even keep
even if I tried for each of the
365 and who knows how many
more we'll get

Humbled and uplifted all in the same
Ideas that keep us believing and (in)sane
Like throwing all the doughnuts out the window of the van.


Dying all the time is the only way to live
And i'm way too alive to be able to give
What needs to be built
Enabler, do your stuff
Love your love, cause that's all we got.


Steady... steady.. steady as she goes

365 and nobody knows
