Twice to Calvary
02:43

I went twice to Calvary
all the while in a daze
I bought salep at a stand
all the while I was amazed
I am not a good performer
try my best to be a man
blueish dreams envelop me
sometimes I feel I cannot stand
lay down your violence
lay in the sand
like the Christmas Truce
in No Man's Land
I went twice to Calvary
all the while praising God
pilgrims looked at me with confusion
I would smile and I'd nod
I didn't touch the Wailing Wall
I was afraid I'd start a fight
Ben Ami didn't mind my beard
everything turned out all right

Wolf Moon

moon obscured by clouds
silently exerting her influence
over me
offerings of tobacco
to Grandmother Momoy
love me
glowing like a shelter
shivering like escape
frightened of the Tarot
looking for a way
wait for holidays
keep your eyes open for crow sightings
where are we?
get to bed early
or stay up doing nothing at all
oh dear
boredom stumbling loudly
ecstasy's embrace
fuzzy like a mystic
why am I awake?
wind down for the evening
fall asleep to blue-green Medieval chants
love me
oh what have become of all the people
you have ever known?
oh what have become of the people
you have known?

Cinnamon Man
04:32
|

words by Erin Tanner
there he is, here he be, cinnamon man
with basket of cinnamon stick branches from trees
a sack lets dust upon toast
we let fall butterside up.
He who dances with fate
He who controls the spice
He who shall replenish the spice
and us everyday misplacing the jar
shouting out a curse
"Cinnamon man please come back!"
Spice mortal
fresh ground life force
conscious granule of the universe
o how it goes

ants ascend legs
pausing briefly at stomach
laying their eggs
taking stock of surroundings
and minuscule miracles
fall like hot cocoa
and the soldiers are trapped
in the chocolate rain
porous but dry
the sponge dreams of the sea
and he pauses to sigh
as infections occur
and stunning soliloquies
fizzle like antacids
regurgitated
for later digestion
and sometimes I feel that I’m
stuck on the perimeter
always outside of your kitchen sublime
and sometimes I feel that I’m
right in the thick of it
I mustn’t forget to write down all of my dream s
harried but hallowed
the bundles of daydreams are
fuel for the flames of
realization’s release
and musical monotone
summons a symphony
which is reduced
to a tune like a breeze
and sometimes I feel that I’m
trapped on the edges
locked out of rooms of our mutual design
and sometimes I feel that I’m
right in the midst of it
I’ll always remember to make up new words
