The land itself  spoke from mountains, torents, islet
From bird song and bear splashing fishers
From rutting moose and cougars sharp incisors.

9 years and a decade later my story and song

Took up my yoke and followed thee
‘Twas an...

One early winter morning 
A man went to the mirror
To do his morning shave
Just another shave
Like a thousand, million shaves before

As he looked into the mirror
He did not see his face
Instead he saw a stranger
Staring...

About the obvious disorder
Of letting men break through the border
Called a women’s bathroom door
Which has always been there for
Keeping out men and furthermore
Those who are men no more

Oh, some may...

Lobsters clams and knotty pine
Shore dinners with the neighbors we did dine

Give me your wide cup
I will open your bottom
shell and lift you up.
I will ring your bell,
press your ears against
the sky,
holler to the moon until
the doves shaves Mozart's

Where did the butterflies
fly?
High above to the bad...

Plan for tomorrow to be nothing like me;
I only wish I could be nothing like me.

But the truth is, we are one when...

Too many times you hoisted anchor
there isn't time but you should thank her,

another visit with
her kid’s dad.

the night before you
take off,” I laugh.
“Think what you...

Looking at him
And him
And him
With her deadened eyes
He looks back at her
Every one of him
And fantasizes
Perky breasts
Milk white thighs
He feels
What’s familiar rise

Music plays
She feels the moments press
Skillfully
Removing her dress
He screams
He whistles
