Constellations
Constellations take on meaning dim light of the sunStaring back from the dusty blackThey know where I'm coming fromSeeds of unforgiveness as twisted trees returnTops of buildings, the school stepsCity shapes unlearnedIt's highway robbery on your technologyWhere the road has been misleadYou know when Edison's inventionWon't light up in my headWe grasp the saps of forest thoughtsCementing with our handsWe try to give the ground some floorThe sky some place to landWe stole the dark of the oceanAnd we named it nightPut a switch up to the wallWe cut holes in the doorOf the future unlockedFor you, for youWashed and dried and hung upAll your clothesAnd in one sleeve there was a letter enclosedSongtexteSaid I had formed attachments to these ragsThe way they draped your form so fluidlyCovered all my plansBut since you spilled the grape store vines And jilted lies of your finest things And wedding rings were swept out on the porchYou won't be playing dress up in my illusions anymoreThe one I adoreCounting hairs on her hair is wearing quite thinIt's a lousy game I knowThat I can't loseMy shadow
