Taj Mahal 03:37
White marble and jasper carnelian and garnate coral and agate turqouise and lapis In the dawn, she turns from white to rose petal skin where the blood flows and the whites of her eyes meet the sun tightened thighs and curling tongues it takes this moment to awaken, there's just too much beauty to take in so you lather her with ivory, she's the palace you pray in nightly when you met her, you were the king of sand a solid heart with idle hands still you loved with your blood, salt, and stone dug kisses into crescent bones if this love was meant for heaven, build me a temple I can pray in it will never be complete until the earth falls at her feet in dusty walls you build your tomb you flood the halls into your room with stacks of books and paper plates push out the light, push out the day every moment that astounds you, you put in jars around you little bottles filled with sand and precious stones in coffee cans
2.
Little Bird 02:42
Little bird in the yard listening to feminist poets crying all about their vaginas everybody's got a flower to love The trees are bare and bending into a lotus they're all fending for the air that's inside us everybody wants someone to hug In the backyard, staring at the sun the pen is leaking in the sky and the words I said, well, I forget I just sit and watch them all go by when you called me Babe, I heard the words standing behind you you said it like nobody had touched you I called you my Italian Thug Then I got on a train and traveled under the ocean bringing you flowers and devotion everybody wants a tree they can bug In the backyard, staring at the sun the pen is leaking in the sky and the words I said, well, I forget I just sit and watch them all go by

Adrenaline 04:44
she comes in, adrenaline her beauty is frightening so in the air we blow a kiss you love her like a rock show love her like a circus

The Gardener 03:03
I liked what you saw when you said I'll not forget you I was a glass of water in the bar where I first met you Up on a pedestal, you said "you're the girl I've been dreaming of and you are innocent in everything concerning love" Well, maybe I am? Maybe I don't know? I had to point it out that my fingernails were dirty I said-I'm a gardener you said - that's cute and girly But I like to dig up weeds, especially when they're under the surface I wasn't drunk that night but you know that wasn't on purpose In my sober state, I told you about the things I'd done I shot my old man with a .38 gun I buried him in the garden, dug that hole right down to hell you're not a killer - you said - just a girl who can't aim well Well, maybe I am? Maybe I don't know? You said - I want to take you dancing - would you come with me? You saw innocence when I said - I can only lead You said - I'll follow you until you are good and brave I said - if you follow me boy, you'll be following me right to your grave I liked what you saw when you said I'll not forget you I was a glass of water in the bar where I first met you up on a pedestal, you said - you're the girl I've been dreaming of (up on the bar stool, I warned you what I was capable of) You said - you're innocent in everything concerning love So I guess I'm innocent as I'm washing off your blood? Well, maybe I am? Maybe I don't know?

Parthenon 03:09
6.
Before we go, before we part I just want you to know how much I love you I'm sorry things are the way they are I'm sorry I push when I should hold you I know some things I'll have to let go Let's be slow, let's be still let's be quiet as the winter we'll freeze our tongues and let the chill preserve what's left of the summer I know some things I'll have to let go All I wanted to do was give you my love let the waves come and take you with them all I wanted to do was give you my love give you my love, you can take it with you
