Big Man

Big man

They say no one is an island

Does it tug at your insides

When you fall into your mind?

Remember me?

You’re such a big man

And I need you like a right hand

I won’t be mysterious

And I will get what i want

You will not get off easy

And that is how it will be.

Remember me!

Big man,

Don’t let it mess up your head

We are aligned

Mountain, I thrive

While at your side

Oh, big man

And don’t you dare

Look in my eyes

And say, “it’s fine.”

And look, you built a whole world for me

And look, we built this home upon me

And look at us in all our glory

All our glory!

A Reminder

I capture dictation,

I am compelled to take

My hand, guided

Ghostly words from my pen to the page

“Oh father, your secrets,

Released in this communiqué

From ether, a reminder:

I died with so much left to say”

This I permit, but was not asked

“Oh mother, I feel it,

You tried to show the way!

From ether, a reminder:

I died with so much left to say”

“Oh sister, I failed you,

I couldn’t keep his hands away

From ether, a reminder:

I died with so much left to say”

Welcome stranger, come on in

Use my body, guide my hand

Light your words on fire

And I’ll chalk up one for justice done

Ghostly words from my pen to the page

I Must Remember To Forget

If I could select what I forget,

The files i would shred!

And I’d neglect to recollect,

Anything you had said,

And you could call on me,

’Cause honestly, I couldn’t implicate you

But if you want to know the truth,

I’m no good for you

I’d never lie to save you

But how selective is

This broken coping mechanism

That made me lose huge swaths of youth

And then allowed me to remember you?

And may I recommend we not pretend

You worry for my safety

Because, in the end, i comprehend

You’re forest’s worth of shady

And I wish you well

Also farewell,

We’ll all be fine without you

’Cause when people can’t be used,

They’re no good to you,

They no longer have value

Now that I’m not very useful,

I expect to soon be free of you

And when you’re out of options,

I bet that I will hear from you

You’ll use what you can get and then,

I’ll find myself on the outside again

Too High For This

I’m too high for this

Let me get the earth beneath me

I’m too high for this

Before I lose my grip completely

I’m too high for this right now

I’m too high for this right now

Let me get straight

Give me a day

I’m just too wasted for this, Love

In my embrace

Floating through space

Floating through space with me, Love

Though you had all day

You said nothing

Now you corner me

And tell me these things

Now’s not the time

You see that I’m

Not up for conversation, Love

Float and vibrate

Give me a day

Float in vibration with me, Love

When I can, you’ll get full attention

I’m only partly in this dimension
