upside down, hung up by the flesh 
i am slowly speaking a safety net 
of gentle hopes into empty space
 constellations spanning all across this sucker's face i got one bare foot out the front door i would lie if i said it wasn't like this before
 i just couldn't feel the breeze
 maybe this still life is not what i need
 and if i don't say it now, i'll say it tomorrow or in a week listen, 
the bird's wings spread like a kite 
if the wind picks up i could be gone tonight the bird's wings spread like a kite 
if the wind picks up i could be gone tonight and I'll grow 
i'm just out here, and i will grow inside out, hung up by the heart 
i forget my lines and my entire part i don't trust the prompter with their little lies 
i don't trust the script with my silly little life stage is closed, there's nothing left inside if the wind picks up i could be gone tonight stage is closed, there's nothing left inside 
if the wind picks up i could be gone tonight i'm just out here tying up a couple of loose hands 
i'm just in here holding my breath 
i'm just holding what was and holding what could have been holding what i have never possessed
 and i cradle it in between these two sore hands 
and i squeeze it a little too hard
 and i find a seam and i pull just a little bit
 i watch it exhale and fall apart and i'll grow. i’m just out here, and i will grow
2.
i draw a crooked line
 i fold it over twice the atlas knows when it’s time to start breaking at the spine the night explains its weariness the road explains itself
and i am overjoyed 
that we’re going to hell i am a kind blood sucker 
i am writing notes under the covers i am rough at the elbows 
i pray for vertigo
 spin me right around
 when it’s dark let me out glue two bowls at the rim inside the sphere it’s dim
 this is how we’ll eat 
we’ll let the darkness feed us tie a little white bow to the hood ornament and then let’s just go and if you cannot tell 
i am delighted that we’re going to hell you are a timely excuse 
for a tongue bloody and bruised you’re a fresh breath of air licked off broken glassware we’re alive and unfolding 
we’re blood red and golden 
in our sunday clothing
 we drive until morning
 and if you cannot tell 
i am over the moon
 knowing we’re going to hell.
