Close Your Eyes When We Touch So I Know It's Me You Really Love

Innocent It Starts
With Grazing Knees
Sharing Fingers Over
Worn Out Piano Keys
But Now We're Just A Circle
Trying To Be One Standing On Chairs
Eyes Closed But One Who's Still Aware
And It's His Name You Do Not Know Yet
We Can Share The Same Mouth, The Same Spit,
The Same Voice Trances Of Powder Rubbed All Over
Sucked From Other Fingered Posers No Snow Words Spoken
Dancing With Belly Buttons Showing Emerging From Dirty Sheets
But Blood Still Flows From Your Broken Nose When The Smoke Clears
Lets Walk Home In Blankets For Morning Disappears And I Know Not If I'm Better
For Still I Have Blood And Dust Around My Nostrils And Someone Else Spit In My Mouth

(Inspired By The Video To James Blake's Song "Lindisfarne II")

Bring Me The Sea

It's Great Being School Green
No History Class Of Us Two Lady
I'll See One On A Magazine
The Other's In This Month's Vanity

You Shouldn't Be With Me
You Should Be Kissing Another Girl
Lady, What You Think The Divorcee
In My Head Saying, He's So Concerned

Nurse Me 'Til It's No More Benign
With The Coldness Of Your Hatchet
Fuck That Cul De Sac Sign
I'm Knocking Walls Like A Bad Habit

Lets See What A Hair Cut
And A Few Foreign Months Can Do
Nothing Like Distance To Obstruct
Besides My Absence Is Long Over Due

Maybe I'll Suffer Like The Killers
For That Dreaded Second Album
For The Words Spoken Differs
But It Sounds The Same And No Warm Welcome

CK

Mod-Intern Romance

Baz Says You Spell Your Name With A Y
As In 'Why The Fuck Would I Bring You Home?'

Must You Be The Light Of My Life
Just For Now Be The Fire Of My Loins

Go Idle Or At Least Let My Chatbox Do
No Need To Poke When The Telly Ain't Broke

Guitar Strings A Sentence Together For
You Are A Leaver If I Couldn't Play
So For Tonight Stay

CK

Dear You

Dear You

Draw Us More In Penciled Pictures

When We're Lying In Bed

And I'll Kiss Your Forehead

Dear You

Stop Building Castles In The Air

And Trying To Live There

It's Really Getting Tiresome

Dear You

We Should Have Been Adventurers 

Like The Ones From Those Films

So I'd Have Stories For Our Sons

Dear You

Do Not Start Smoking

Even If It's Taste Is On Her Lips

And No Whiskey Nose With Small Sips

Dear You

Don't Read These Words 

But You Couldn't Anyway

For I'm Speak Now At The End Of The Day

CK
  

Helplessness

The First To Come

And Be Able To Break

The First To Come

And Give What I Take

The First To Come

And Place It In Danger

The First To Come

And I'm Still A Stranger

The First To Come 

And Replace Numb

The First To Come

And Who'd Stop You

The First To Come

And The Curtains Drew

The First To Come

And Blur All The Lines

The First To Come

And Grey Body Signs

The First To Come

And I'm Under Thumb

The First To Come

And I Hear Her Name

The First To Come

And Never Sounds The Same

The First To Come

And Do All Different

The First To Come

And Make Before Distant

The First To Come

And My Heart You Drum

CK

Words Are Tools For Backwards Fools

My Dog Is Lost
At Least For Awhile
Cost Until Exhaust
Returned To The Wild

Darken Black Coat
Prints Remain The Way
Note What Is Wrote
So He Keeps At Bay

Away The Words Keep
Inside Some Longer
Sleepy Hound Barks Deep
Sealed With This Mortar

CK

Dismantling The Golden Cage

I Can Bury This Cure

A Place We Both Know

Broke We Are So You're

The Burden I Must Stow

With Black Under My Nails

From The Shovel And The Dirt

Turn Us Back To School Tales

Wash The Stains From The Shirt

Why Must You Know The Truth

When Its Something You Disown

Alas, Our Plot Is Now Lost

For New Grass Has Overgrown 

CK

Waves They Bring The Flotsom

I've Seen This Musicbox Before
It Rose To Me On The Waves
Along With Old Summer Dresses
Too Tainted For Me To Save

Wreckage Is Only Mine To See
Others Pass By In The Night
Intact And Breaking Knots
Flickering Eyes Are Pilot Lights

Splinters Stick From My Sides
Sails Ripped In Need Of Alter
Splits Riddle Without A Shore
I Am Jetsam Upon The Water

CK

Fragment #19

Been Give A Plus
Still Have Twenty Five To Go
How Long Will B Be

CK

Come Down

Sunrise Still Awake
Follow Directions Home
Tired Leather Shake

Homeless Step Sleepy
Can't Hear Mine
All Real Dreamy

Bridge Is Empty
Standing On Railings
Wind Blew Barely

Dead Trains Confuse
Late Mourning Wait
Wet Cheeks Refuse

Sea This Foam
Covers Over Eyes
Awake, You're Home

CK

Wanderlust

The Word Should Be Printed On Every Railcar
So It's Hobo's Way To A Place Too Far
Wind Blows Every Way When Your Feet Itch
Switch Like The Young And Head For The Ditch
Hand Us Back The Strange End Of Every Strand
Land On The Last Island And Then He Can Stand

CK

An Old Love Poem

By An Open Window
We Sit Hand And Hand
Our Wrinkles Match Up
Just Like Our Wedding Bands

Longed And We Have Lived
Nowhere Left To Roam
Together In This
Our Last And Only Home

These Words We Have Spoke
A Thousand Times Before
Yet Each Time Their Said
I Love A Little More

Sleep Is Coming Soon
With Such Wintered Harms
I'll Leave Here Happy
Still In Each Others Arms

CK

Fragment #18

I'm A Petty Thief
You Be Better Off With Him
Than Be Here With Me

CK

Beat-Nik Re-Up

Rings And Circles We People Are
Roaming Streets For Those Below Our Stations
Passing Other Turned Crooked Heads
For We Have Seen No Sun Rising

Howl Has Days With Weaks In Them Feeling
Kicks And Tits About, How Can We Sleep

Anger For Hormones With Junkies Up First
Gold Medals Melted To Spoons Dripping Juice
Of The Sex And Ribs That Rise And Fall
Over Others To Get Higher

Howl Why Don't We Call This Light Brigade's
Marching Drums And Overpriced Sailors

I Can Get This Cheaper On Main Street
Without These Hunger Pains Too
The Interzone Was Yesterday's Corner
There's Sootfall There And An Unmoved Corpse

Howl These People Still Congregate
With Pipes And Tattered Manuscripts

Freed Slaves Living By Traffic Lights
Orange You Glad There Is No Chains
Picket Fences Fall Over With Blow
The Wind That Never Lets Us Settle

Howl These People Fifty Years Too Old
Where Else Can They Go With Three Verses

New Specters Walk The Lands Now
Haven't You Heard That Through
Your Wireless That Still Spits San Fran
Or Have You Earned The Right To Change Stations

Howl Bore Children Who's Children Are Dying
They Need A New Voice To Follow

CK
  

Happiness

White Laughter From The Corner Of The Room
Some Tea Rings Bloom
No Correction To What Came Before
A Son Once More

CK

Good Night

Some Dirty Jokes About Foreign Folks Told Between Cigarette Tokes
Brings The Boys To Their Knees

Fill Up Your Socks With Old Time Rocks Off The Beaten Jukebox
And Girls Throw Shapes Out On The Floor

All So Green When Your A Teen Break Into The Scene
With A Pick And Some Black Shades

Catch Her Eye With Drinks You Buy Then Flashing Thighs
Sends You Chasing Your Own Tail

Like A Fieldmouse Strays Into A House I Get Lost Inside Her Blouse
Who'd Wana Find Their Way Home?

CK


  

Desperate House-Flys

Smoke Screens His Face Trailing From Cigarettes
Resting In His Desk Ashtray
Year Old White Shirt Stained In Whiskey and Sweat

Her Neck More Sun-Shagged Than Kissed In Freckles
Fresh Nails And Hair Ready For Play
Public House, The Place To Lose Her Shackles

Roll Over Paper Work 'Til Nooner Done
He's Local Not Far To Stray
"Hurry Up, I Have To Pick Up My Son"

Back Home In Time To Have Dinner On
To Keep Suspicions At Bay
Then Bed Where Her Day's Love Is Over-Drawn

CK


 

All Letters Ended 'X'

You Lady, You Smile
I Somehow Found
We Circled Around

I Know Nothing
We Are, We Are Not
You're Cold And Hot

We, It's Someday's Hope
You'll Stay Awhile
I Think, I Smile

CK

Fragment #17

Nobody Showing Hands
Yet We Still Play This Old Game
Maybe I'll Throw Down
