Owl and pussycat redux
who as a couple kill
one another out of love
I and my wife
or my bookseller and me
we must be ruined
minding nothing but lust
we who
we who enchant
playing owls

Instrumental
an ordinary husband may sing
tuning his guitar
I play a bad instrument
with rich oils
I dare not believe it is good
better than expected
and my love is dancing
in her bed
Black is the color
how lightly a kiss speaks
no word but ourselves
like the ink of night lost
in her mourning gown
Unobtainable
far off
the legerdemain of a peak
often seen yet impossible
ever to have
as are you
Aging revolutionary
all the fields between us
so cold a land
how infinite the locks and keys
to keep love out
and touching only in the family
full of sour years together
brothers and sisters
husbands and wives
and me with my great round gut
like a gold watch
to let an inconceivable
time be born
Entangled life
doors in the forest
took the dimensions of certain
spots where we met
so the heart’s wishes
grow intricate together
sorrow in balance with glad
Visceral
given the land
given love
an enlarged mouth makes things over
parts play a part
the very heart gone
to supper
Sacrificial
if love is an accident
I should be kind to this
rogue October heart
take it out for dinner
all good and hot
like a devil
pleased to have
my private sin sing
another piece of my song
Maudlin
discourse furred with the first
love of a drunk
who would kiss
anybody for a curse
who surrendering to the ground
would remain in doubt
Polar opposites
love is a strange sun
a white bear lost at sea
I am never troubled by angry words
and I like being in the dark
excess of light makes eyes believe
vicious and impossible things
like little kings making a peace
out of the dead
Printing press
is love a print of passion
is the frame so fine
we exceed the sheet
are amours made clean again
at night
Rekindled
the morning got close to you
with many sparks
ourselves as we were again
might sing
