Powder Blue
Your eyes are just like black spiders
Your hair and dress in ribbons
Baby Cakes
In despair or incoherent
Nothing in between
China white, my bride tonight
Smiling on the tiles
 
Bring that minute back
You never get so close as when
The sunward flight begins
I share it all with you
Powder Blue
 
Stumble through the crowds together
They're trying to ignore us
That's okay
I'm proud to be the one you hold
When the shakes begin
Sallow-skinned, starry-eyed
Blessed in our sin

Yellow Spider
we took the twine we used to use
to tie up tight our tattered shoes
twisted twigs and crooked cross
a necklace for the deeply lost
we build her with a broken brick
mother to the baby chicks
made this world to look so nice
i wonder what the next one's like?
yellow spider
yellow leaf
confirms my deepest held belief

Red Right Ankle
This is the story of your red right ankle
And how it came to meet your leg
And how the muscle, bone, and sinews tangled
And how the skin was softly shed
And how it whispered, "Oh, adhere to me
For we are bound by symmetry
And whatever differences our lives have been
We together make a limb"
This is the story of your red right ankle
 
This is the story of the boys who loved you
Who love you now and loved you then
And some were sweet and some were cold and snuffed you
And some just layed around in bed
And some, they crumbled you straight to your knees
Did it cruel, did it tenderly
Some, they crawled their way into your heart
To rend your ventricles apart
This is the story of the boys who loved you
 
This is the story of your red right ankle

Black Crow King
All the hammers are a-talking, all the nails are a-singing, so sweet and low.And the rain it raineth daily
Lord
And wash away my clothes
I surrender up my arms to a company of crows
I am the black crow king
I won’t say it againAnd the storm is a-rolling
And the storm is a-rolling
All down on me
 
And I’m still here rolling after everybody’s gone
And I’m still here rolling after everybody’s gone
I’m still here rolling and left on my own
Those blackbirds they have all flown and
I am on my own.
