v e r t i g o

it's kind of like a mountain

or high upon a hill

you feel just like an eagle

swooping down to make the kill

and then it's like a pit

the faintest light above

you feel just like a rodent when

you're crawling out of love

-rudysassafras

[rudysassafras]

b o u r b o n

i love, i love, i love

alas, i fear, i'm barred

so i'll fear and loathe and shove

just like a starry shard

straight toward your fortressed bosom

just like a cannon ball

until you feel your freedom

just like a falling star

so wish upon it, dear

just like a disney tune

dispose of all your fear

and share with me this room

remember each embrace

and cast away your doubts

and don't forget the face

that promised you a house

-rudysassafras

[rudysassafras]

s u b l i m i n a l

So long, my dearest friend

Another feigned goodbye

The night is ne'er the end

Until we close our eyes

Relax for me just once

Denude your mind of snares

And bury all your guns,

Your worries and your cares

-rudysassafras

l u n a d e m i e l

they say that idle hands…

(they talk the livelong day);

but busy hands, my friend

are darkening my day.

i’d like a boat to row,,

a rippling tide of chance;

a little bit of ro

&

a little bit of mance.

C o u n t T h e O m e r

Select delete refresh,

You mustn’t need impress;

The hands of time unwind

When you make up your mind.

Surrender to the beat

Of grass ‘neath unshod feet;

The truest paths are trod

By pilgrims seeking God.

Virginia

Pacific afternoons

And early morning tunes;

Bouquets I bind with twine

And simple sprigs of time.

בראשית

There’s darkness on the deep,

And still the Spirit moves.

A stranger in His keep;

This wreckage He renews.
