Don’t Let The World In

We used to go out walking

we don’t do that much talking these days

so you misunderstand

there ain’t no plan

A blow to the head

I play dead

pretend it’s not working

but it is

to the bone

just a tone

Is all it takes

it makes what it makes

never home again

never whole again

never lived as friends

Heartbreak

I’m suffused with love

that I don’t ever want to be free of

then it sinks like a stone

I'm chilled to the bone

heartbreak

Is all it takes

it makes what it makes

short soliloquies and

undone deeds

And then he wakes

he gives and he takes

it’s hard to be human in the face

of this taste

Eternity's space

skin like lace

an alabaster curtain

that won’t let the world in

Don’t let the world in
