about

A song about my Muse, Lover, Killer, Nemesis & Pal & an excerpt of The Late, Great Larry Levis' poem "The Wish To Be Picked Clean"

lyrics

I knew you'd come dressed in a sweater
I know you'll stay, stay through the winter
& when we are done, I'll feel much better
I'd rather be dead than sit here & wonder about you...
& the things that you sell
The Heatwaves of August
The Freeways & The London Motel
Can you be kind?
I'll never be rid of the things you always
Remind me of
Your smile & your charm
Waltzing through Fresno in summer
I'll be alright again
Once you've left my side...
Downtown is cold, the chill can be bitter
It's hard on the bums & the girls on the corner.
When I see those lives on fire
I know that it's you behind the pyre
Yes, you & the stories you tell
The Bookstore Killer
The Freeways & The London Motel
Trouble be kind
I'll never be rid of things you always
Remind me of
Your smile & your charm
Across the bridge
To West Sacramento
I'll be alright again
Once you're by my side...

I still oversleep theses winter mornings
I still can't decide
Last night I desired only a stillness
In the wake of each thing
The air held inside a dead spider on the sill
Or a shell washed up this morning
Or even the air inside of a struck chord
When the pianist seems to lean over slightly
As if he strains to hear a note
Just under his own held breath
I wanted once, to be picked clean
By Music
By Wind
By Sunlight
