think you're wily, right beside me, sight-eye on my skin; I dress up like Liberace, kick you in the shin Singing birds and dancing bees in dinner coats and hats let you know it's open season; you squeeze on your hunting cap You're in lust. I'm in danger. You're in luck: I can't change ya You'll end up in institutions, wearing my old disguise I'll wind up back in the Briars with Xs for my eyes You're in lust. I'm in danger. You're in luck: I can't change ya

Sunshine Capital of the World, built on a broken back, Home of the lonely girl picking up after all the slack from sociopaths and charming slackers; she writes spells to mask attackers from themselves, and from each other, and from their mothers – Trying to learn to love what smothers in the Sunshine Capital of My Heart: missing you every day bummer to live apart when new days start with: CSA flags waving above your CSA share, left with love while children at the shooting range scare bored suburban boutique gays, and all smelling so fine: dry grass and red wine Sunset Empire in the West, feeding you blood-blessed greens Baby, who knows you best? Get laid to rest where the sun goes down like alcohol among the redwoods' lungs, with all the joy of curing something small – here's headache for your Tylenol and all smelling so sweet: asphalt and dry heat ...and if the sky, Smog Monster brown or Caribbean Enya blue, could spare a pissing afterthought for shady queens the likes of you I'd be the Sunshine Queen of the Whole North State, raisin in all that sun hell at a honey rate, lovin to hate to drive in spirals underneath the hazy sky, the swelling buzz I get it's rich to call this grief but headache is as headache does and I am feelin so down I wanna tell the whole town We've got the sun We've got the sun We've got the sun feelin so down she wants to burn the whole town

You Called 04:23
When you called, I checked my voice for the woman you want + she didn't show She's caught in infinite appointments, oils & ointments away... I dream of you, out like a light on the clinic floor I hear your voice say "Sister, isn't this what you're in it for?" "Daughter, isn't this what you wanted – this helplessness and wantonness?" Half of what I say, I mean to swallow and most of what I swallow I should spit Cause if you whistled right, I'd probly follow, and if you raised your pipe, I'd take the hit And it's not right: I never learned how not to melt on sight I wake up hard in the middle of a mare(')s(-)long night, + try to purge what I've been addled with, (remember men that I've been saddled with) Well the truth is you terrified me enough When you were just an omen of my lie These guilty dreams I get of murdering you don't end But I bet you love it and you'll never die Not your girl Not a shadow of your empty dad Not your pearl Not the oysterless opal you wish you had From my cloud, to the stream of things (as if it mattered, in the scheme of things)

La Brea 03:31
In an age (or 80), they'll reconstruct your face, pose you in your furs, and they'll keep your case so clean... Slower prey are walking Smaller cats've lived Runts and disappointments can slip through sieves like this sometimes You get sucked down by a little bad luck You better look good when they dig you up when they dig you up It creeps above your ankles You shut your reason down Your body couldn't handle the shriek it ought to let out You get sucked down by a little bad luck You better look good when they dig you up when they dig you up
