So you’re the kind of vegetarian
It’s not so hard to say goodbye
The nightmares do not suddenly
A cross didn’t fall on me
In the Bible generations pass…
Ah, what were the names I gave you
One night I burned the house I loved
Give me dog, dogs, wolves, to serve, praise, kneel
You know there was honey in my system
Nothing has been broken
Here we are at the window
When I paid the sun to run
O love intrude into this strangerhood
Clean as the grass from which
Terribly awake I wait
I wonder if my brother will ever read this
I see you on a Greek mattress
Suzanne wears a leather coat
Desperate sexual admirals
Nancy lies in London grass
You broke the thin highway
Two went to sleep
What did I do with my breath
I met Doc Dog The Poker Hound
Found once again shamelessly ignoring the swans…
The stars turn their noble stories
When I hear you sing
My secret fell on a language
A goldfish died in a cloudy bowl
O G-d as I called you before
Here was the Harbour, crowded with white ships…
He was lame
I am too loud when you are gone
You know where I have been
Somewhere in my trophy room…
I guess it’s time to say goodbye…
For a long while I have been watching the city
I was standing on the stairs
Snow is falling
Here was the Market…
I am anointed with directions
I met a woman long ago
You are The Model
I’ve seen some lonely history
No disease or age makes the flesh unwind
These notebooks, these notebooks
Created fires I cannot love
Claim me, blood, if you have a story
When a world is being born
He was beautiful when he sat alone…
I am a priest of G-d
In almond trees lemon trees
Suzanne takes you down
Give me back my fingerprints
Foreign G-d, reigning in earthly glory…
This morning I was dressed by the wind
I believe you heard your master sing
I stepped into an avalanche
