he made you

Because he loves you he made you mine
You rarely are a waste of time
You show up to a date with paper and pen
Create new works from the art of zen
Because he loves you he made you mine
Did I mention you are punctual
Adorably functional
Because he loves you he made you mine
You rarely are a waste of time
Not to say I own you but I’ve got your bone
You’re not the root dijour
(I've learned when not to say that if you were)
I’m not mad but in love it’s true
Because love is real, he made you

clean

Clean like the tip of a grasshoppers eye or the wipe of a brow in the summer sky
The sound of the wash of the rain from the rust of an engine coil
The intent of your voice as it travels to make the point worth while

a land

There’s is a land that I know
Where all the children can grow
No one touches them in their special places
That's for God to know
There’s a a land that I know
Where all the children smile
It isn’t hard for them
There they are so worthwhile
They get to play

Took the train to flushing
Got some henna there
Where else is better to think about your hair?
Looking at the bamboo
Waving at the golden cats
The parlors and massage
All the snake-like tats
Might be a long way home from flushing
Thinking bout the salons and the girls in darkened rooms
Brothels on the block
With the privacy of tombs
Might be a long way home from flushing
Strolling with my taro counting all the shades

Come sit on my knee you lass and young laddie!
I’ll tell ya a tale you’ve not heard before
It’s ‘bout a weary lone traveler who took up his troubles with a heart for the poor he took up some more
He’d carry a large golden frame round his shoulders
His ankles were tough and his sandals were warn.
He sang like an Angel bout heavenly places where sin isn’t there and war is no more.
Never was a load he’d not seen nor carried
Never was a grave could keep the lad buried!
His eyes were intent and his smile not mistaken
When he listened to you he’d hear every word
Dawn Dawn Da Dawn dawn da Diddy dawn

feathers

His hair grew like feathers
He’ll got wet in the rain
He stayed away from people and people will did the same
He sipped from the grass where animals lay
Then his nails grew like claws from a bird
And he saw the day

let this man go
he did what you said
but it was just a piece of bread

the succulant shop

Momma took a trip to the succulent shop
And she bought a rainbow windmill
At first I was concerned about what she got but on second thought I didn’t think it was a big deal
Momma took a trip to the succulent shop
And she bought a rainbow windmill
At first I didn’t understand what she got
Then on second thought her first thought could appeal

Food packs for the hungry
Water wells and fruit trees
Home repair
Lifesaving surgery
This is what you mean to me
Small business recovery
Water wells and fruit trees
Releasing children from poverty
This is what you mean to me
