Wednesday, August 1
Words crowd around in my mind and bump into each other
These words have been away, or I have been away
Wandering and stretching my legs and thinking of you
All of you with your dreams and burdens and small hands
Appropriately, I was away walking on cobblestone sidewalks
Snapping pictures of cathedrals and castles
And washing myself in curious closets
The Europeans polite and annoyed by my tourist questions
But now they are back, the words, moving me left and right
And distracting my eyes like a warship on the horizon

And in my dreams you're alive and you're crying,Neutral Milk Hotel
As your mouth moves in mine, soft and sweet,
Rings of flowers round your eyes and I’ll love you
For the rest of your life (when you’re ready)
Brother see we are one and the same,
And you left with your head filled with flames
And you watched as your brains
Fell out through your teeth,
Push the pieces in place,
Make your smile sweet to see
Don’t you take this away
I’m still wanting my face on your cheek
