The End Of It

Squashed slugs
On the wet road
On my walk home
In the morning
From last night’s
Goodbye party
You were leaving
In the morning
It’s not that I think everything’s infinite
I just don’t think we’ve reached the end of it
Maybe
All that whiskey
Let us forget that
The party’s ending
Honey
That’s what you called me
For the first time
In a long time
It’s not that I think everything’s infinite
I just don’t think we’ve reached the end of it
Woke up
With my arms wrapped
Round your belly
Like we used to
Got up
Made the coffee
Now I’m walking
In the daylight
It’s not that I think everything’s infinite
I just don’t think we’ve reached the end of it
It’s not that I think everything’s infinite
I just don’t think we’ve reached the end of it
It’s not that I think everything’s infinite
I just don’t think we’ve reached the end of it

Our Secrets

When you told me we’d never get married
But you still want to sleep in my bed
Well you can if you want to
But where will we land in the end?
I don’t know when to walk away from you
I don’t know when to walk away from you
I don’t know when to walk away from you
If I’m scared every time that you kiss me
Does that mean I should push you away?
Because I don’t want to
I still want you
I still want you to be my mistake
I’ve been keeping our secrets a secret
Just the way that you asked me to do
But would my friends believe me
If I asked for help to escape
I don’t know how to walk away from you
I don’t know how to walk away from you
I don’t know how to walk away from you
I don’t know how to walk away

Brick & Slate

You had the house at the end of the lane
It was made of brick and slate
Standing by your bookshelf I said desire makes us strong
Didn’t want to know, you didn’t want to know
Soldered down the center on the line that we had made
It’s more than a give and take
I did not expect that love would take away my dreams
I just thought it’s what you do in your mid-twenties
you were tucked into the caverns of your coat
I told you lies that turned you old
you moved out to Portland and I went the other way
we haven’t spoken since and I try not to feel ashamed
Dreary in my memory I see that house of brick and slate
It stands like the pillars of fate
If I had not gone in and come out the other side
Who knows what kind of blindness I’d have to hide
Who knows what kind of blindness I’d have to hide

Over a week in the summer
Every afternoon
I would walk to the house of my vacationing neighbor
To take care of his pooch
I wandered the quiet hallways
And sat in empty rooms
Me and the dog and the smell of summer
And my lustful adolescent mood
I could almost see through the veil of Maya
I could almost see over the edge of the world
From page to page in six days I was made
And on the seventh all dogs go to heaven
In the dusty sunlit bathroom
Was a stack of magazines
Sitting in a brown woven basket
Like a baby floating in the reeds
They were chock full of pictures
Of women in lingerie
I had stumbled into this mans pleasure garden
And into it I too would stray
I could almost see through the veil of Maya
I could almost see over the edge of the world
From page to page in six days I was made
And on the seventh all dogs go to heaven
Back I went each day
To feed and gaze and play
With the dog and America's daughters
Until all of the drive went away
Each evening on the walk back home
Staggering and dazed
I found that the light was not so bright
But I would never get out of that maze
I could almost see through the veil of Maya
I could almost see over the edge of the world
Would they be diamonds on which Jesus had suckled?
The impossible could almost be seen
