Good-bye Nostalgia
Good-bye Nostalgia
Fun for awhile
It was fun for awhile
Then I was sad...
The first I ever heard of you was in a land out west
My mind was filled with a storybook artist
As California mountain tops run to the sea
Tales of your wildness hit hyperbole
I never thought I’d impress you in the least
Your intelligence roared, an unleashed beast
But gentle kitten ‘hind the curtain recognized
How the spark of poetry echoed in my eyes
I’d put you on a pedestal that took a hit
The statue fell into my arms, and you weren’t it
I found you swimming in the dirt; climbed a tree
You were in the world with me -- I just had to see
Bright Trio of Aeschylus
You and I; We, He, It
Pronouns bind the liminals
Of our bodies’ filaments
But every song about love is Gone
And every song about now is Wrong
Let’s ban this tradition
Peel back conditions
Let us…
Listen to the present tense
I’m in love with you and it all makes sense
Let us listen to the present tense
I’m in love with you and it all makes sense
Memories can glow like coals if we keep stoking them
But they will never be that fire in your eyes tonight
So I’m happy to douse them, let all things flow
As we blaze the trail East on our way to Buffalo
So past hurts ran from our bodies like blood from a wound
And we licked each other’s skin like it was medicine
And we weren’t surprised to see our scars turn into freckled arms
which keep glowing in the sun
Sunlight found me in our bed where my chest is a pill-
ow for your head
And we float on our backs in the stream
in a permanence of ambiguity
We looked into each other found another stronger writer
Who was no stranger but a self in a mirror
Turned around upside down; Every flip and turn,
word and rhyme in perfect synchronicity.
But every song about love is gone
And every song about now is wrong
So good-bye Nostalgia
Good-bye Nostalgia
Let us…
Listen to the present tense
I’m in love with you and it all makes sense
Let us listen to the present tense
I’m in love with you and it all makes sense
Bright Trio of Sophocles
You and I; We, She, It
Pronouns bind the liminals
Of our bodies’ filaments
Bright Trio of Euripedes
You and I; We, She, It
Pronouns bind the liminals
Of our bodies’ filaments
