Would turn ashes to dust
Dust to glass prisms
Colorful fragments of lust . . .

"O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?

But a dream within a dream?"

When you've loved,
And lost,
And find that you're alone,
"I should have" tugged,
And tossed,

You can't atone.
Tallying the cost,
Quite simply,
It's this poem,
That . . .

Dead grass,
Bare trees,
Nothing as depressing as these,
Except the gray sky,
Dark clouds climbing by,
Racing away with the stolen sun.
Dead grass,
Bare trees,
Everywhere . . .

I pour my heart out,
Like water from a spout,
And you, on the other side,
Say nothing.
There's really nothing I want you to be,
I just asked that you acknowledge me.
And you, on the other . . .

Sometimes I hide in my little cave,
A darkend retreat,
That I have made,
And look out on the world,
So bright and cheerful,
In new colors,
Flowers dance from the ground,
and weed others,
Unfold . . .

The rain is pounding on the roof,
And the wind tears at my door,
And it occurs to me,
That all I see,
Has been here once before.
Then you were pounding on my soul,
And tearing . . .

Choose the pain,
Or sleep the sleep,
Push life's anger,
Way down deep,
Sweet soul slumber,
You can't keep,
Life from sucking,
Happy takes a leap,
Choose the pain,

And into the lamp-lit winter wood?
And did you cheer when Arthur drew, from the stone,
the sword that no one could?

Hanging on every word,
Trying not to say,
What I have to say.
Can I believe what I've heard?
Will anything stay gray?
Or like everything to you,
Black and white,
Wrong and right, . . .

If I walk in the dark,
Who's to say?
You in the light,
Anyway?
You would have me believe,
There's one way,
But to any destination,
Exist other ways.
If I walk in the . . .

It goes on and on, and is what it is,
This thing we cling so dearly to.
Why do we try so hard to hold,
That, that no one can see, yet rue?
Grasping it so tight to our chest,
Keeping it so dear, . . .

Dark longing flows,
For the blinding lie that shows,
You are all right,
In your world view,
Truth is supposed to shed light,
But who knows where that goes?
Dark longing flows,

What could I say,
To change your worried mind,
Reach your tattered heart,
Salve your stricken soul?
What could I do,
To make it so you'd know,
What you felt, baby,
From the start, . . .

Rising,
Descending,
Softly,
Up and down,
Now faster,
A trembling start,
To secrets they could but imagine,
These lost friends of the lonely heart.
Now slower,

WHERE I AM FROM, PART 2
I am from pig brains and scrambled eggs mixed together
Therefore, I am from brilliance
Pigs are smart
I am from dead brain cells
From many nights of drugs . . .

As we endeavour to perfect
the monuments that we erect
to our vainglorious intellect.
The faithful that we did suspect,
