External Actor |
| It’s all I’m looking for |
| These moments of opaque-eyed knocked-out rapture |
| Helpless as a calf at the capture |
| Chosen in a frozen instant |
| Far away from the scabbed-out moment |
| Far from the flick-flick-flick of the flatscreen |
| Far from the poison power of cash |
| Green cash reeking and heating the jetstream |
| Oh, the sharp sweet breath, she is my daughter |
| Daughter of the flashing instant |
| Daughter of watching «Daughters of Darkness» |
| On your parents' couch with your high-school boyfriend |
| Spinning fevered in a haze of ditchweed |
| Daughters of long hard skids on the 10-speed |
| Daughters of July rips at the land speed |
| Semi-freckled eternal thrasher |
| Feather-haloed floating hair eye-flasher |
| Floating like a fire in the distance |
| Flashing like a flush to the skin |
| And whispering like the wind through the rushes |
| Oh no, external actor |
| External actor |
| You gotta hoist a high flag |
| You gotta learn how to hang with the freaks and the hicks |
| In the heat of the lot |
| You gotta learn what is and what is not |
| And you learn what isn’t is not a lot |
| To drain a tin beer |
| Streaming cold in the fields |
| Summer’s up and the heat is relentless |
| A drop in the rainbow rain on the canvas |
| Calls of friends in the capital of cannabis |
| Where the cops down the block |
| And they circle and they stop |
| And they circle and they stop |
| And they stop and they circle |
| And they stop, God help cause it’s a lot |
| And may God have mercy on the polyglot |
| Oh no, external actor |
| External actor |
| A million miles across the starlight |
| A skip skip skip |
| A wide long curve |
| A space dust melt around a star |
| Keep shining in the cold |
| Keep shining in the dark |
| External actor |
| Neighbor-love and brother-love |
| And blanketing love of God above |
| Sigh of the river far from shore |
| Silence and the voice don’t speak any more |
| Neighbor-love and brother-love |
| And blanketing love of God above |
| Sigh of the river far from shore |
| Silence and the voice don’t speak any more |
| Neighbor-love and brother-love |
| And blanketing love of God above |
| Sigh of the river far from shore |
| Silence and the voice don’t speak any more |
| Neighbor-love and brother-love |
| And blanketing love of God above |
| Sigh of the river far from shore |
| Silence and the voice don’t speak any more |
| Neighbor-love and brother-love |
| And blanketing love of God above |
| Sigh of the river far from shore |
| Silence and the voice don’t speak any more |
| Neighbor-love and brother-love |
| And blanketing love of God above |
| Sigh of the river far from shore |
| Silence and the voice don’t speak any more |
| Neighbor-love and brother-love |
| And blanketing love of God above |
| Sigh of the river far from shore |
| Silence and the voice don’t speak any more |
