| Thinking outrageously I write in cursive
|
| I hide in my bed with the lights on the floor
|
| Wearing three layers of coats and leg warmers
|
| I see my own breath on the face of the door
|
| Oh I am not quite sleeping
|
| Oh I am fast in bed
|
| There on the wall in the bedroom creeping
|
| I see a wasp with her wings outstretched
|
| North of Savanna we swim in the palisades
|
| I come out wearing my brother’s red hat
|
| There on his shoulder my best friend is bit seven times
|
| He runs washing his face in his hands
|
| Oh how I meant to tease him
|
| Oh how I meant no harm
|
| Touching his back with my hand I kiss him
|
| I see the wasp on the length of my arm
|
| Oh great sights upon this state! |
| Hallelu-
|
| Wonders bright, and rivers, lake. |
| Hallelu-
|
| Trail of Tears and Horseshoe Lake. |
| Hallelu-
|
| trusting things beyond mistake. |
| Hallelu-
|
| We were in love. |
| We were in love.
|
| Palisades! |
| Palisades! |
| Palisades
|
| I can wait. |
| I can wait.
|
| Lamb of God, we sound the horn.
|
| Hallelujah!
|
| To us your ghost is born.
|
| Hallelu-
|
| I can’t explain the state that I’m in
|
| The state of my heart, he was my best friend
|
| Into the car, from the back seat
|
| Oh admiration in falling asleep
|
| All of my powers, day after day
|
| I can tell you, we swaggered and swayed
|
| Deep in the tower, the prairies below
|
| I can tell you, the telling gets old
|
| Terrible sting and terrible storm
|
| I can tell you the day we were born
|
| My friend is gone, he ran away
|
| I can tell you, I love him each day
|
| Though we have sparred, wrestled and raged
|
| I can tell you I love him each day
|
| Terrible sting, terrible storm
|
| I can tell you… |
