i send communion
i break before you break
i dip in
i suspend
i wait
wait
wait
i break before you break
i dip in
i suspend
i wait
wait
wait
in the morning, when the sun comes up
i play records remind me of cactusland
it’s so dark in my room, i have to turn up the volume
i take a shower and i brush my teeth
i feed my cat and i drive to work
in my rearview, i see nothing
they’re not folded, kept or birthed
my stories do not sit on cliffs of clay
they do not tell stories
i make like a cloud
in my mind
and then
i forget i’m a cloud
i was fifteen years old
your aura was so staring at me
like, for the entire time i sang small for you
oh man, my background noise though
and those blizzards
amazing we didn’t catch on fire
used to stand on it naked
in my daydreams
with a flag
used to conquer it
all over little and littler pieces of
paper that i hand covered purple
my neon was electric
i was a dark dark dark cupid
when you sing to me
