...she told me once that static travels in circles. She's gone now, lost in florida amongst tawdry paperback adventures and the madness of clogging drunk in the middle of a hot afternoon, but that's what the script says, so that's the scene...and while there's rewind, it's never actually replay, is it?
...but i digress.
"Baby, sweet baby, you're my drug
Come on and let me taste your stuff
Baby, sweet baby, bring me your gift
What surprise you gonna hit me with..."
500 days ago i was in love so bad that the moon itself hid from me, remembering my state the last time i danced like that. And she's got a unique perspective up there. The moon, that is. See, she can see over the horizon to tomorrow, and she can do it everyday. Even when you think she's not up there, or you think she's too busy thumpin yer ovaries like bass strings, she's lookin' over that on big hill called Earth.
..and i feel her cold strawberry milk breath on my neck every night when i catch that ride with Morpheus, like momma kissing you before you get on the school bus, i feel it.
"I would burn the soles of my feet
Burn the palms of both my hands
If I could learn and be complete
If I could walk righteously again"
600 days ago, my life was fey-kissed, revolving around an Amber Nomad who kept my heart in her dirty little pocket with her hand-rolled smokes and a couplea twigs of incense. two days after she rolled away, another fey skipped in sideways and impossible, treating my heart like a teabag, keeping it close to her gardens...i've always been in love with sidhegirls, my biggest weakness: that magic that loves me, but doesn't want me.
2000 days ago i thot i was walking with the sun, but i was walking in it...as blind as a stone, and as sturdy as a colt. problem was, while i was learnin to walk, folks around me mistook it fer a new dance, and instead of help. i got heralded..now no one understands when i hold the wall every once in a while. My heart was cool and chrome-plated, unquestioning and universal, capable of lightspeed and stopping on a dime, and i was like Fonzi in the Millenium Falcon: absolutely above reproach and invincible to everyone except myself.
especially myself.
especially.
"I would sleep on a bed of nails
'Till my back was torn and bleeding
In the deep darkness of Hell
The Damascus of my meeting "
swimming. i said it an d i mean it. this lazy susan i've hitched my wagon to gives me fullacces to every world i've ever touched a toe to, but i'm spread so thin that looking thu me gets mistaken for looking thru me.
...and every once in a while the holes in me work like some bizarre butterfly net, and the most wojndrous of treasures fall to me.
...mebbe i'm just mad.
..i sure like Miss Lucinda Williams, tho.
"You're the one you're my shinin star
You're the one I've been waiting for
Let's fly away to some foreign country
Where nobody knows who we are
I wish I had a ship to sail the waters
I wish I had about a hundred dollars
But I'll just stand with this glass in my hand
Feeling like nothing even matters
Your words run thru me like the blood in my veins
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name
Before I knew your name
Everyday I miss your smiling face
No one here can ever take your place
The sun can shine down over my town
But it never shines in my days
I told all the stars above
I'm gonna shower you with my love
I won't demand you I'll try to understand you
My love is free as a dove
Your words run thru me like the blood in my veins
I could swear I knew your love before I knew your name
Before I knew your name
You're the one you're my shinin star
You're the one I've been waiting for
Let's fly away to some foreign country
Where nobody knows who we are "
