Black Poppies
Black poppy sleeps a dreamless night In summer shade of moony light Hazy veils of clouds loom low The warm kittens close to the earth Underground bodies stir with no sound No one to tear them under the ground Ghost horse and stillborns turn in their cradles Silvery meadow murmurs the song of Tiny glow worm glowing Rain starts her shimmery descent Onto the old leather skin of the farm

Bloody Twins
I give you my hand Brown from summer And you give me a kiss Like a tiny floret Which sparks in a blink A firework of roses And the night floods in

Butterscotch
Black widow and white wood The darkness of a forest eerily returns To stagger drunk like mud Taking swings at your woman Run! Why does butterscotch taste so good And we can’t have any But we must, we should Why does sugar cane taste so good Even though sugar can only do you harm You remind me of baseball Tow trucks and the movies Look sweet as to deliver me milk Almost frozen on...

Bisounours
Il fut un temps oé rien n’était éteint O’ seul l’or de mon coeur donnait l’heure Et alors j’étais fort, mais j’ai perdu la fleur et l’innocence Dans ce décor je me sens perdu, rien n’a plus de sens Mais j’ai encore quelques rêves et si tant est que j’aie le temps J’irai caresser leurs lévres J’ai encore quelques rêves Et si...

Armageddon
Lets all gather at time square And let’s all say a prayer To Walter Disney and Mike Tyson At Madison Square Garden And then the lights came on In the middle of the night What I should do with my life How I should spend my time I’ll be a stock broker and get me a wife Have the diamonds cut Have the diamonds And Jesus said there a girl’s best friend And hell...

Bear Hides and Buffalo
Lead canoes collide inside Pocahontas came to me in a reverie War paint and tobacco stains Piss on the earth A pile of dead men A pile of dead dead men Bear hides and Buffalo Mildew with fever In a time of wintryness Naked bronze trembling queen Stolen from Egypt Buried in England Island of the blue dolphin

Beautiful Boyz
Born illegitimately To a whore most likely He became an orphan Oh what a lovely orphan He was sent to the reformatory Ten years old was his first glory Got caught stealing from a nun Now his love story had begun Thirty years he spent wandering A devil’s child with dove wings He went to prison In every country he set foot in Oh how he loved prison How awfully lovely was prison ...

Animals
Now that I’m alone I feel the lonely brokenness Of all the wicked avenues I’ve ever sold my love on All these moments of meekness and trembling subsided I’m the outright abandon of this orphan child Home is on the highway living on soft bread and solace I guess I’m waiting for nightfall or a solar eclipse And to wake up half empty Only to be filled again with...
