I can’t forget you, I don’t try To undo the latch of a hook and eye I know I said I didn’t want you to stay the night But it doesn’t really matter because everything you do is golden I can’t forget you, I don’t try Can’t unhear the voice of a Lorelei I dive into the wake, mystified And nothing ever shatters Because it’s just my time, and I’ve got plenty Your eyes were bright like the diving rings My grandmother threw into the pool When I was a child I can’t forget you, I don’t try Can’t unhear the voice of a Lorelei I dive into the wake, mystified Two splintered halves of a Gemini
2.
You’re resting on your laurels while you’re painting your toes Fully clad in florals and a sapphire glow They are beauty, they are grace* Wasting time making lists in slips of see through lace Figs ripening in the moonlight Dreams you’ll forget in the morning light And you are hunting for stranger powers In less familiar hours Figs ripening in the moonlight And you’re waxing poetic by the waning moon Thirty of your empress cards around us strewn Dreams you’ll forget in the morning light And you are hunting for stranger powers in less familiar hours
3.
Fruit curtain takes the cake You know it’s hard for me to stay awake when the room is full of men in hats Cardboard conversations I talk to the cat I can Enjoy the Moon here If you’ll kiss the ends of my hair As our shadows pass on the stair
4.
It’s been years but if I talked in my sleep It’d be your name on my lips When we quietly dreamt of a home Filled with instruments Everything else is fool’s gold
5.
Giant pink tsunami waves carry you Your mother can’t be brave but she carried you From the top of the spiral staircase they’ll toss you You’ll settle beneath the mammoth caves in the mossy blue The seagulls are calling you again They’ll spirit you away to be with them You say you’ve gotta stop all the late night dreaming You say it’s bringing you all the late night demons The girlfriend of the west coast, You wear your wedding ring on the right side and Each night you sing (cross my heart, hope to die, stick a needle in my eye) You’ve gotta stop all the late night dreaming It’s bringing you all the late night demons I wonder if you’ve stopped all the late night dreaming It’s bringing you all the late night demons Giant pink tsunami waves Beneath the mammoth caves

Fig Dream 02:59
Figs ripening in the moonlight While I dream scenes I won’t remember Tomorrow in the morning light Figs in the moonlight Turn to the starlight your grey leaves Tonight are you dreaming of me Night malls and starlit halls Will I ever stop thinking of you With moon in your palms Covered in fronds Lashes thicker than your sister’s and mom’s Turn to the starlight your grey leaves Tonight are you dreaming of me Figs in the moonlight

Nightshade 03:15
Burying pennies at the roots of hydrangeas Violet florets in the eyes of strangers Daylight and nightshade with your dark glasses on Ears full of ocean and its shimmering song You want to be buried in seafoam arms Sunlapped limbs dressed in oceanic charms Fair winds and following seas You gave your voice to me Salamander clouds, your wrists of Chanel No. 5 Your coral lipstick smile made the sun rise in the sky Saltwater petrifying your sand dune hair You’ve never been afraid of the unknown there Fair winds and following seas You gave your voice to me
9.
Titania 03:47
Silver haired matriarch in her joyous silver home Two silver daughters and one son, all her own Telling filigree secrets she tucks behind my ears: Stories of her Oberon and music of the spheres Titania, reclining on a throne of irises Swan perm loosened into waves of champagne You are more radiant than ever In the morning by the window pane Titania Whispering lullabies to the dog Sleeping on the rug in a sunbeam “It will be so heavenly to hold you again in a daydream” Titania The windchimes hanging from the lamp ring whenever you turn the light on Singing like birds at the fringe of evening and the palest blush of dawn

Silken Ilk 04:21
I remember your voice to her, softer than ever Two glowing moons echoing each other forever Constellations of adoration gilding our love and limbs Hiding amidst plants and shadows and midday swims Perennial glow, in the night you’ll be (Golden girl) Perennial glow, laying out under the lime tree (Golden girl) She knit us together with knots under her ears Three heads of a silken ilk, on her nested pillow of seven years You are strength and softness, the two are the same In my dreams I hear your name Perennial glow, in the night you’ll be (Golden girl) Perennial glow, laying out under the lime tree (Golden girl) Perennial glow, in the night you’ll be (Golden girl) Perennial glow, sugar from the sun to me (Golden girl)
