True Dominion
She said “Don’t go out and play
Where the wilder people, they
Dance round the fire just to mesmerise
Ive seen the furnace burn deep within them
They dance round the fire
As the blood moon rise
Over true dominion
You better run run run
You better run Son.
Don’t you ever wander
Down that meadow over yonder
As the daisy chains all entwine
Just to shackle my feet and to shackle my mind
Down Yonder meadow where war and peace divides
Over true dominion
Its been a long time
my heart is divided
Been along time
the river decided
Been a long time
But you keep me surviving
For a long time
A long time
I didn’t mind it
Since the rhythm defined it
You keep on surviving
For a long time
A long time
Now god and the devil’s divorce
is getting settled out of court
Beneath the weeping willow on a rusted string
As my broken shadow shades their perfect wings
the devil now weeps as the church bells sings
Citing their dominion
You better to wait to place your bets
until the devils in your debts
But there’s a 6 on the flop and 6 on the turn,
Well there’s a 6 on the river.
A six on the flop, a six on the turn
But the river’s my dominion
Its been a long time
My hearts been divided
Along time
since the river decided
Been a long time
But still you keep me surviving
Been a long time
I didn’t mind it
Been a long time
But the rhythm defined it
Just keep me survive it
To watch the river rising
Just go gentle on the horizon
Now child please come lay your head
By the broken banks on the water’s edge
As my able body swims against the tide
Well your able body swims against the tide
we’re able bodied but the river decide
a long time ago
Its been a long time
My heart is divided
Been along time
But the river decided
Been a long time
But always surviving
its been a long time
My heart ain't connected
its been a long time,
You keep me protected
Just always survive it
A long time

I stole your pillow

I Stole your pillow
I’ll turn on my light
The door is open for when your heart decide
Come in and have at it
But there’s ghosts in the attic
My dreamtimes erratic
When my worries abide.
I stole your pillow
To study the archeology of your dreams
Down the sand man’s dusty streets
I drew a map where we could meet
But the maps incomplete
And my love light don’t shine
You don’t eat no tamorillos
I shall bare no false pretence
As I attempt to define
The anatomy of time
But you gave me too little
Thats why I stole your pillow
I wait patiently
Under duress with baited breath
Hurry up, there aint much left
I’m trying justify my theft
Ships and masts
Set sail past
But they’re just boats on frozen water
Carrying the moon’s missing daughter
The door is open if ya want
I know its cold outside
I drag my feet
Down the sandman’s dusty road
Forming question marks and arrows
X marks the spot of my sunken sorrows
I draw breath
To trace the contours of emotion
Sweet as salient is the ocean
I don’t mean to be pushing
But I keep on stealing all your cushions
While you wait patiently
In subconsciousness’ outback
Trying to read a dusty map
The door is open
When you take a nap
Ships and masts set sail past
But we’re just boats on frozen water
You the moons missing daughter
The door is open for when you want
I know its cold out side
The door is open for when your heart decide
One your pillow there’s a Maf inscribed
Come in and have at it
But my songline sings static
And my Dreamtime erratic
When my love light don’t shine.

I gots to wake up early in the morning
To change the batteries in all of the pigeons
And the voices calling
For me to go in search of the contradictions
To render your vegan breakfast fruitless
By putting bacon in all of your smoothies
And you may say I am ruthless
But your truth became toothless
Dabbling my toes in those dystopian futures
no emoji can commute this
So I spit salutations like toothpicks
From Kang to Kalang
From Kang to Kalang
It took a long way to get here
From Kang to kalang
Kang to kalang
took a long way to get here
God damn
Here I am
And I took the long way to get here
Yes Ma’am
Here I am
And the car goes Kalang
Its an automatic
The dust settles across my winding road
The brakes are problematic
But it gets me where I need to go
The interior symptomatic
Of an itinerant on the road
Buts its all I know
And it gets me where I need to go
Then my car goes Kalang
And my heart goes Kalang
And my pots and my pans
I’ll be banging them with my hands
Like the fool that I am
On the land that I stand
My souls just a dram of the concepts at hand
From Kang to Kalang
From Kang to Kalang
Took a long way to get here
So Goddamn
Here we am
Such a long way to get here
Yes ma’am
Here I am
I hear sweet soft songs of sorrow
Transmitted by the microchips in all the sparrows
This is all I know
We all just Dusty itinerants walking each other home
So Goddamn
Here I am
