leaving town
my brother leaving town welcome one who’s at the door forgiving giving wings
who soar along the unsung shore among the saving raven days who harbor us. my brother come to town a quick picnic among trees with leaves that sparkle in
the breeze, and so much later memories relate our raven days who harbor us. driving south through hills of hymn maia to reach the beach the place of such good friends, resting in the hills of barbara in raven dancing branches in the sun. time to go time to make it you know ditto ‘no pity in the city’ i know for a lifetime ditto ‘on my dime recognized’ on our dime recognized. o the stranger o in wind still,

heaven (you’ve got me in)
dead with eyes on you i watch my wishes rise to you and should i have shied from you to survive by and by. but now you’re singing too, do all your wishes wing here too to learn the things we must do to always stay this high. in our quivering capital where brilliant leaders come and go, who is the ruler we propose is it someone either of us knows? one star’s a space probe, when two stars collide the building blocks of life explode. for you and i the heavens are alight tonight, and in our magic kingdom look how you and i take back all titles and the rights to fright, the fright to light, the lights to rights, the rights to life. oooh you’ve got me – in heaven. 2011-03 –
