Basket Weaver

Basket weaver you can use my hair
Pull my roots you know I hardly care
Stretch my breathe out, swallow every word
Shameless seeker, leave no stone unturned
It takes steady pin-pricked fingers, twist it out of air
Women laying, bathed in algae, falling on their swords
Basket weaver, are you ever done?
When you’re finished, what will I become?
One more rock in your aquarium
I would never jest in misfortune
But it seems you can take your fingers
and pull my strings
It must be something
It must be nice
To keep a good pet
Obedience, a word for conquest
Basket weaver
Stretch my breathe out
Basket weaver
Pull my strings...

Thought Appears

I float just like a thought appears, canteen in hand
I have to hover to drain it
to drown all your plants
I think of what I could do to you and what you want
You can’t just stop thinking
You can’t escape ideas
Just like a thought appears…

Sprig of Thyme
04:51

I’ve been picking away at rainbow concrete
Using only my nails, tools are too heavy
Come all you fair and tender girls
Keep your garden fair, safe from the world
It’s hard to raise a bed, a bed of weeds
It’s hard to keep your head above someone’s knees
I once had a sprig of thyme
It prospered both day and night
Anything you want from me you take won’t you dear
Any limb that's left for me you’ll choke patiently
Suffocate my painted virtue false, false man
The pink, the blue, the violet too
The grey concrete
I’ve been giving away things that you gave me
Anything at all unless it’s worth money
But I refused the will of bloom
To feed the ground cover rue
That all the world may plainly see
How my love slighted me
And I gained the willow tree
Where do you go? I know...
