Branches and Fingertips

i am sprouting from the water
im the son of a daughter without a father
the wind, it blows me so dry
i am digging into the hillside
my eyes
are all over my head and my fingertips
and my feet
i am awake, but i'm counting
the numbers dwindle, but im around still
im grounded
branches and fingertips are in the same category
its an allegory
its a hollow, hollow call
but its filled with water
and the more hollow it gets
the walls will thin with regret
and your blue tears will spill from the stone cold duck's bill
i am awake, but i'm counting
the numbers dwindle, but im around still
im grounded

I Want to be a Wheel

saw you at the end of the street
your knees were peddling that cold machine
making me feel like an icicle
melting at the sight of your turning bones
i want to be a wheel
they're collecting on the branches
gathering all in such water dances
pushing out those grey beams of smoke
pushing out those grey bones of smoke
i thought i felt your breath on my neck
but you weren't there as soon as i looked back
i want to be a wheel
theres something i always loved about
speeding down the highway as fast as a spout
from a whale with toxic water
and an angry son
and a poison daughter

there are fingers floating in the air
i am now certainly aware
of one hundred different eyes
in my eye
theres an old woman by a hearth
with howling dogs, whose ears are finally clear and open
the clouds are moving
just like your cloudy eyes are moving
left and right
and when the clouds fill up
with sparkling water from your golden cup
they will cry
and wash away your dirty eyes
and your mouth will be a filter
the clouds are moving
just like your cloudy eyes are moving
left and right
