Denver of Lost Mosquitos

Got a map of the world
on the back of a girl
who is only a slice
of what is in store
In little ole Denver
Gotta a bucket of shivers
And a cancerous mass
On an overtaxed liver
Got a map of the world
On the back of a girl
And my hands are chapped
And our hearts are sapped
Where are we going?
In this blind September
Can we hide our knowing?
In the mountain weather

Lemon Marmalade

Our last caress
Here’s to success
The latest scam
Our finest mess
What in a name?

Our sweetest night

Two Palms

Two palms leaning against the sun (x 2)
Two hearts beating against the drum (x 2)
When the wind comes home
And we find that we are alone
Will we cross our wires?
and burn bright with solar desire

Gulf of Paria

drinking rum n cokes
gonna watch the boats
move slow
thorugh the mud on planet earth
through the sacred gold
of makeshift love
swinging to cher
put your hands in the air
touching your hair
as the mountains fall
and the gulf tells all
we’re kissing the air
what’s the word we look for? (x 3)

Candles in the Mist

Made of whale
Base the enterprise
on scandal
In the jungle
Of our sorrows (x 3)
Wish away the future
on dead tomorrows

Coral Castle

At the coral castle
Acting like an asshole
I said I wanted to go home
Away from the thick vines
And rinds of mango
Takes two to tango
But then there was one

Terrible Urchins

Terrible Urchins
Operating in the corners
Of the swamps and sinks
of the Southern Borders
Creating anomie and class disorder

One Way Ticket

Got a one-way ticket
Into the thicket
Of dead empires
And plagiarized texts
Text me nothing
Text me next (x 2)
Text me next
The sacrifice of your life
Begins with ____

Or is it all just in my mind

Drinking Whiskey sours till the south of heaven

Writer's Block

Empty page empty glass
What comes through next
Is the opposite of insight (x 2)
Writer’s block
Channel everything we know
And find nothing
But a bumpkin
with pretensions
Empty page empty glass
What comes through next
Is the opposite of insight (x 2)

Wet Meadow

Wet meadow
Gets in your hair
C’mon c’mon
I hate to stare

I’m in love with you (x 3)
But who cares for truth

Wet meadow
Rinse it out of your hair (x 2)

Bury Your Guns

Lost on a playa
Our inner desire
is to see the sea
Don’t speak for me
I wanna whore with
which carnal lore
and whiskey sores
Will set me free

West of West

Florida

Not a place to stay
Not a diner in town
Not a lover around
Gonna sit in sand
And watch the ocean swells
Tortured black summer
Gonna watch you drown
Not a place to camp
Got a bugged up van
And a trailer stuck in sand
Not a place to hide
It’s a made up space
Land of guns and mace
Erase the wooden stares
Tortured black summer
Better watch me drown
Gotta get outta town

Wolverines

In a parlor, festooned in red
and smoke from garrulous men
Thought about the black spots
in the short grass
with five o’clock shadows
and lackadaisical gaits
On cold days
the place to be for a tick
long sated for blood
Oh how the sun filled the world
with its concentration of stars
and the play of the light and heat
and how it must feel
with sunlight coming on down
how it must feel
off the thinness of eyelids

from Evening Redness in the West, released June 25, 2016

I'd Drink All of it

A fist in the rectum
As the preacher announces
he’ll leave your life alone
If you believe
A reprieve from the men who
want me more than they want you
In the bar with a bear in a hat
and a drunk playing cards with a
fool I become you
and I drink to that,
I drink all of it.

Evening Star

She was tired
of being alone
in the horse stalls
moon for light
burned too bright
sometimes she mourned
then made the call
lights and arrogance
in the alley
where they once met
stabbed him in the neck
and left the blade
She was tired
of being alone

There Are Death Squads

Glanton spied the mayor’s eyes
Left ‘em both there, bound and tied
Went back and found his men
Gotta really drunk and philosophied
There are death squads / Among us
Yumas came at the break of dawn
Gonna take the ferry down
Felt the arrow in his abdomen
They built a bonfire on the hill
Keep calm and look around
Try to spot that mysterious sound
Run fast and don’t look back
A bibical killing ground

Mexican Pizza

Can’t eat this vermin
Or spoilt little children

And hearts beat slow

we got the sunburn

got a knack for shaking like the locomotion
we got the sunburn we'll dissolve it in the ocean
hot on the beach
with my credit card scams
FM radio will kick out the jams

give you my number
you will study my glands
sand in my hotdog
and a stick in my pants

hot pocket romeo

the setting sun is
such a bummer
everyone expects a
california summer

the 1970s

the 1970s
in the red rock heat
there's a dog
in the street
in the neon glow
is the shape of your face
is the taste of your lips
is the spark of your sex

we are doing all right

fuck off, jack

fuck off, jack
that's not an attack, it's a threat
you can see how the words
you slur make me upset

fuck off, jack
behind closed doors you show a lack
incompetence
foam at the mouth amnesiac

fuck off, jack
you act like you're some
rhetorical acrobat
but it's a joke
cuz your tongue is forked
and your wool is wet

sax metaphor

sax metaphor

looking for a sax to blow
looking for a heart to hold
looking for the prairie lights
where i got a napkin with your number written twice

got a pile of pancakes
a mouthful and it feels right

several seasons of wedded bliss
a single phone call will tell us what we missed
a lovely moon and circle 'round the fire
will wash ashore in oligotroph desire


looking for a sax to blow
looking for a heart to hold
got a napkin with your number written twice
in the prairie lights

joel grind is all right

digging up the crucifix
digging up the swastika
pale faced terrorists

not even a riot would make them blink
not even a riot would make them shrink

monochrome kids and their solid gold sorrows
sitting with you in the deepest dark hours

seven seasons

seven seasons
seven sorrows
watery drought
on your false tomorrows
reddish haze
on a garish palace you gaze
your time is up
your heart is blank
your gut's a grave

sinking cities curry no favor
how to profit off a scientist savior

we've got the chemicals

we've got the chemicals
we've got the spaceship
we've got a heart on
for sexual relations
you are the cream
i am the crop
you are the scarecrow
with the mop on the top of your head
in the emerald city
you are instead, the boy,
the toy with golden sockets
the chemicals heroic & unleaded as the locket
i lost, the cost, is losing my lead
we've got the chemicals and in this metaphor
we end up dead, the fittingnest tomb
for the tome in my head

the fittingest tomb
for the tome in my head

we've got the chemicals
we've got the spaceship

we come from fission

say can you see
we come from fission
sports illustrated on
the latest television

and so you know
we are the ones
who terrorize the poor
and exterminate the young

say can you see
they don't get shit
they get a false flag &
fail to get off it.

the setting sun is
such a bummer
everyone expects a
california summer

farewell to a wasting season
