La Dispute piosenki

Funny what you think of after a collapse While lying in the dirt the first thing that comes back is never quite what you’d have guessed And if you could have, you probably would’ve said you’d check if all your limbs were intact still and then try to get out...

There was once a great kingdom, and its great king had a beautiful daughter who passed her days in solitude, weaving garments for the pleasure of her father. One day, while she was sitting beside the great river, peering across, she saw a handsome young she...

(Crows, wipe the blood from the end of your claws. Said the vulture Lets gather like storms for the war. Crows, as the night turns its skin into coal, Dark as corpses but cluttered with gold. They will label you thieves, wolves, and whores but you are not...

Like a shadow on a shadow, a phantom in a filmstrip, 
Faint glimmer Of the past trapped in mother's old slides. 
Sits still in the Apartment while sifting through some pictures
Of the child that he Once was and the sense of hope they framed. 
"It's a shame,...

we move by instinct, darling let our hands be hatchets, let us wander blindly, swinging madly in a forest made of flesh. we move by instinct, darling let our eyes like lepers drive the doubters from our homes and into the bottom of the sea. and we spea...

I say a drink might help me sleep, I say I don’t sleep much at all these days, I say it’s cold, Besides, I’m broken. Hard as earth the love of the past, The worth of the world has frozen Still. Like the sheet of ice collecting on the windshield of my car...

There are bridges over rivers There are moments of collapse There are drivers with their feet on the glass You can kick but you can’t get out There is history in the rooms of the house After dinner Do the dishes Mother hums The coffeemaker hisses on t...

Like any morning of my junior year I stumble in the classroom late but this Day I see
Faces, I feel an air like a funeral, like a wake, as I sit Down. 
My teacher speaking, somewhat somberly, but still confident And calm. 
Part eulogy, her speech, and part...

Another shooting on the southeast side. This a drive-by, mid-day, Outside of the bus stop, by Fuller and Franklin. Or near there. Not far from the park. About a block from where the other shooting was last Month. Or was it last week? Shots were fired fr...

My precious wife, I am in shambles I am crumbling, I am Was it something I did Bid the tide to climb so high that it ripped our shore up I can fix it, I swear If you trust me I am old and I am rusting but I care I care My precious wife, we made a promise Pled...

"I've come here as a man in shambles—worn out from begging on my knees. Please, I'm just trying to keep my family together. Now, when you saw you're lover wore a ring around her finger, why didn't you stop? I have half a mind to make you hurt, to make you b...

i recall once on the church steps, when I moved to kiss your chest, how we paid such close attention to each sweet and stuttered breath, I should’ve stopped to paint our picture, captured honest pure affection, just to document the difference between...

I know that someday you'll be sleeping, Darling, likely dreaming off the pain. I hope you'll hear me in the streetlight's humming, softly breathing out your name. I know that even with the seams stitched tightly, darling scars will remain. I say we scrape th...

Yesterday alone I laid everything out on the carpet Books, kitchen things, objects With specific purpose or none Arranged them sideways in a grid On the floor there, unmoored Out of context and then considered it First the whole picture, then everything...

In the last quarter of the twentieth century much of the world sat on the edge of an increasingly expensive theater seat waiting for something momentous to occur. Christian aficionados of the Second Coming scenario were convinced that, after two thousand ye...

both butterflies and dragonflies have wings like when you sing i swear you hit two different notes but they don't harmonize as clean as when you speak there is a rhythm in the scraping of your tongue along your teeth that comes across as well as hell inside...

They stored their passion in the creases in the corners of their mouths, Every angle of light from the open window washed their aged faces out. "Should we feel guilty?" they said, "Should we feel guilty for this sin? Lord, did we kill a man and woman just...

I’ve been watching a slow thaw come around. I’ve been waiting in the cold and hazy blue. I’ve been driving alone out to the edge of town. I’ve been thinking too much of you. Last snowfall left splinters and some winters never end; neither wane nor wear. A...

"Up, M'Lady--Pack your things, this place is not your home. Nor was it ever, sever every tie, tonight we ride. Tonight we ride." "And how we've trembled at the way that time's assembled little fires of desire in the tundra of our skin. So, do yourself a lit...

I let the car drift some Eye your uncomfortable pose in profile The postures of long drives That endless cycling of your numb and near sleeping parts And you lean much harder than you need when the road curves Swerve through traffic and the cracks in the...
