Shadows extend east

And Cortazar

Stares at women

Shuffling by who blot their lips



From violent men

And say "god bless you"

From violent men

And say "god bless you"



I sulk with pause and

Loving mariachi soars

Against the red

And yellow tents of strangers

Shout!



The red and yellow tents of strangers

Gifting geese

The ends of bread

The ends of bread

The ends of bread



8, 12, 13 hours

8, 12, 13 hours and

The people keep fighting for sleep

The people keep fighting for rest



I'm reluctant to stay sad

Life beyond is a field

A field of flowers

A field of flowers

Life beyond is a field



My love is a nervous child lapping

From the glowing lagoon of their presence

A field of flowers



My love is a nervous child lapping

From the glowing lagoon of their presence

A field of flowers



My love is a bulging, blue-faced fool

Hung from the throat by sunflower stems

Hung from the throat by sunflower stems

Sunflower stems
