Gutters pool water till there's ice up to my eyes.
It gives me good reason not to see you all the time.
You chew on all my words like I've spouted stuff untrue.
It gives me good reason not to see this thing through.
I can't talk with rain falling down
Until I'm in a room safe and sound.
You don't say for me to come inside,
And I won't keep lumbering around.
Gutters pool water till there's ice up to my eyes.
Slippery stairs keep me in the house and shy.
You chew up all my words like I've spouted stuff untrue.
It gives me good reason not to see this thing through.
Gutters pool water till there's ice up to my eyes.
It gives me good reason not to see you all the time -
But it's a hollow rhyme.

Dunk

My thoughts and choices seem wrong
When I have to dunk my head every night.
My feet scrape the soft streets
And the forest-top is still just out of sight.
The air feels so tall -
(The sun's so) cool on the bricks below.
Words kind of stalled
(When I heard) what you undergo.
I get so easily floored,
And I'm ready to konk out before it's noon.
I don't wanna fuss much more.
Let's just get away from today's awful hue.
The air feels so tall -
(The sun's so) cool on the bricks below.
Words kind of stalled
(When I heard) what you undergo.
Thoughts seem so small
(But every) night they start to flow.

I'm gonna be barreling towards the end,
And my arms are no friend.
In standing water I'll lay down,
And street lights shine in a sweet round.
The power of the sun is dashed.
The palm of my hand went real fast.
I'll scrawl forgiveness notes to throw
Before the river takes me home.
So past the riverbank it goes down.
I think of my house's windows now.
How the whole time in this bind
I could've stopped and gone home fine.

Lake Slip

Sitting on the ice, wrapped up tight.
By a fake ocean, cold waves swell close.
Talking harsher than I mean, cold breeze swells close.
Refuah Shlema, let's just go.
Every move makes me homesick for mountains tall and small.
A water spout drips in the mulch yard, but I'm inside stressed out.
Your forever folks to stay?
Unwinded (you) center on the stoplight (half away)
Way covered (by) both your routes home (raindrops fall)
Fall (here) just reminds me of the summers.
Fog hung in my school's parking lot before my eyelids rise.
And due west the hilltops trapped fog on the river where we're a mess.
