bland ice escapades

conveyor belt me to the moon
catalytic converters and loose skin
you’ve got your brand names for snowy days
you bask in their reflective glow
so regiment fall in line
we astral and saltwater
and leave unchecked growth in your backyards
chemical bath spa treatment
and watch me glide like creationist lies
hit me with your eelskin belt
i’ll park my car, break zoning laws
crumble into hysterics when my fortune goes
you’ve got quite a turnout today
for your bland ice escapades

a frozen car
a solid river
an empty bar
a drafty window
meet me in winter: after the rot

|
it's been a fabulous decade so far
all a smear of drunken memory
and we watch the stars fade away to the clouds again
we learned to write in competing blood letters
soon moved on to whips and daggers
the bombs were created before we knew what they could do
in hotflash backrooms

shaking hands
02:33
|
|||
|
every hand that opens
and everything you reach
every face you notice
and every word you speak
everything is broken
with every hand you shake
every thought forgotten
is every hard mistake
everything you fall for
is everything they take
i will not be awful
i will stay awake

the stanchions are long past gone we're out on our own now
our towering cities of breathsmoke pour into the sky
no one will know we were here in a few snowstorm moments
they'll find us after the melt still clutching bottles

winter,
wasted,
inside,
wincing,
please find another one, instead
please find another one, insert is done

|
the pennies you found and collected
faraway trains over the frozen river
which city do you live in now
under the silent february snow?
backlit by wake up water
in this space let's build landmarks
trying to find a place to rest your aching bones
a fi re on the hearth
the portal home

winter again - please freeze me
feed me your icicles
nourished on the melt
please freeze me...
